It’s that time of year again. Spooky Season is upon us, with Halloween following on a weekday this year. That hasn’t dampened the spirits of those canvassing for candy, nor has it put a damper on the celebrations of the MMA community, who always seem to go all-out in terms of costumes.
Below are some of the best costumes in MMA from Halloween 2023 (or, you could do your own costume as an MMA notable)!
Carla Esparza
Wonder Woman and a little Hulk? We’ll forgive the Marvel-DC crossover in this case!
