BUFFALO, N.Y. — The next strawweight star could emerge from UFC 210 when Cynthia Calvillo takes on promotional newcomer Pearl Gonzalez.
Calvillo is 4-0 as a pro and trains with Team Alpha Male in her home state of California. The 29-year-old made an impressive debut last month at UFC 209 when she submitting Amanda Cooper in 3:19. Calvillo gained a lot of fans after that win, including Snoop Dogg apparently.
Gonzalez (6-1) is unbeaten since losing a majority decision in her pro debut in 2012 but there is a fair bit of buzz surrounding her considering her aggressive style and the fact she has four wins via armbar.
The two 115-pounders are the third featured bout on the main card.
