Pearl Gonzalez had a whirlwind of a weigh-in day ahead of her UFC debut. Though everything was sorted out in the end, it certainly did not go as planned.
Shortly after successfully hitting the strawweight limit, the UFC newcomer was notified by the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC) that she would be removed from her UFC 210 main card bout with fellow prospect Cynthia Calvillo. It was due to her having breast implants, which are forbidden in boxing in New York, but the rules were not rewritten after MMA was legalized in New York last year.
