Cynthia Calvillo responds to critics ahead of June 13 main event: ‘I guarantee you motherf*ckers would do it’

Cynthia Calvillo is excited to compete in her first main event as a professional fighter, despite what the critics have to say about it.

Calvillo makes her 125-pound debut for the UFC against Jessica Eye in the main event of the promotion’s June 13 fight card. The event is expected to take place at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas.

The 32-year-old returns to the flyweight division for the first time since her pro debut in August 2016 after the cut to 115 became too much. In her last fight against Marina Rodriguez in December, Calvillo missed weight by 4.
