Cynthia Calvillo (6-1) returns this weekend, at UFC Fight Night: Magny vs. Ponzinibbio in Buenos Aires, Argentina, after serving a 9-month suspension for cannabis. Calvillo, who started her UFC career with three straight victories, is hoping to get back to winning ways in South America and — in the process — climb back into the UFC’s strawweight rankings.
Calvillo’s long wait on the sidelines came after a positive drug test for marijuana metabolite Carboxy-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), following her loss to Carla Esparza at UFC 219. Calvillo accepted a six month suspension from the UFC’s official drug testing partner USADA.
