Estes had a successful amateur career, with an outstanding 7-1 record. She finished off all amateur wins, with 5 submissions, and made her pro debut last year defeating Lacie Jackson by unanimous decision. She is hoping to make an impact in the growing 145 pound division and wants to make her adoptive hometown proud.
