The UFC’s return to New York next month has a new fight headed to the pay-per-view main card.
A women’s strawweight bout between Cynthia Calvillo (4-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) and Pearl Gonzalez (6-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) will be the final addition to the UFC 210 pay-per-view main card. UFC officials today announced the booking during the UFC Fight Night 107 stream on UFC Fight Pass, showing its placement in the middle of the main card – though full broadcast plans have not yet been finalized by the promotion.
UFC 210 takes place April 8 at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, N.Y. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
Calvillo will make a 35-day turnaround from her promotional debut at UFC 209 earlier this month. She accepted that fight on short notice, as well, but managed to score a slick first-round submission victory over Amanda Cooper.
The 29-year-old has only competed professionally for less than two years but has been highly touted by coaches at Team Alpha Male in Sacramento, Calif.
