Cynthia Calvillo had a terrible day Friday. But her Saturday went quite a bit better.
The Team Alpha Male strawweight missed weight for her UFC Argentina bout with Poliana Botelho by two pounds after a scary scene in which it looked like she was about to pass out.
But Calvillo rebounded in fine fashion in the fight itself, as she took the 118-pound catchweight main card opener on Saturday night via submission. The time of the stoppage due to a rear-naked choke was 4:48 of the opening round.
“It feels amazing just to be back, it feels like I’m home again,” Calvillo said.
