The UFC 210 main card bout between Cynthia Calvillo and Pearl Gonzalez has been scrapped for an unlikely reason. According to MMAFighting.com's Ariel Helwani, a New York State Athletic Commission regulation regarding breast implants prevents Gonzalez from competing.

Here's what Helwani stated on Twitter:

I'm told the Calvillo-Gonzalez has been canceled. Per NYSAC, female fighters are not allowed to have implants, thus ruling out Gonzalez.

Calvillo just told me she is hopeful they will overturn this but no word that's actually happened just yet.
