After a brief stint at 125 pounds, Cynthia Calvillo will return to the strawweight division for a clash with Brianna Fortino (formerly Brianna Van Buren) at an Ultimate Fighting Championship event on June 4.
Cageside Press was first to report the pairing, while MMAFighting.com confirmed the date for the bout. The card is expected to include a featherweight showdown between Dan Ige and Movsar Evloev.
Calvillo’s last attempt at strawweight came in December 2019, when she missed weight by more than four pounds for a matchup with Marina Rodriguez at UFC on ESPN 7 before battling the Brazilian to a majority draw.
