editEsquibel made her UFC debut against Karolina Kowalkiewicz on October 21, 2017 at UFC Fight Night: Cowboy vs. Till.[8] She lost the fight by unanimous decision.[9]
Esquibel was scheduled to face Jessica Aguilar on June 1, 2018 at UFC Fight Night 131.[10] Aguilar successfully weighed in, but the bout was removed from the card the day of the event by the NYSAC due to a concern over a medical issue with Aguilar.[11] The pair eventually faced each other at UFC Fight Night 133 on July 14, 2018.[12] Esquibel lost the bout via unanimous decision.[13]
Esquibel was scheduled to face Jessica Penne on February 17, 2019 at UFC on ESPN 1.[14] At the weigh-ins, Penne weighed in at 118 pounds, 2 pounds over the strawweight non-title fight upper limit of 116 pounds.
