Cynthia Calvillo (/kælˈviːjoʊ/ kal-VEE-yoh, born July 13, 1987) is an American mixed martial artist who competes in the strawweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. As of December, 2017, she is #6 in the official UFC Strawweight rankings.[2]

Mixed martial arts career

Calvillo made her amateur debut in 2012, and garnered a 5-1 record over 4 years.[3]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

She made her professional debut in 2016 collecting 3 pro victories in 5 months which includes 2 technical knockout finishes. She accepted a 10-day notice fight against Amanda Cooper at UFC 209 where she made her UFC debut, defeating Cooper by submission in the first round.[4]

Following her successful UFC debut, she was asked to join the main card of UFC 210 against promotional newcomer Pearl Gonzalez. Gonzalez was ruled out of the contest after the NYSAC said she could not fight because of her breast implants, which are banned among combat-sports competitors. Later the decision was reversed and the fight was allowed to go on as scheduled. Calvillo won the fight by third round rear-naked choke.[5]

Calvillo faced Joanne Calderwood in a strawweight bout on July 16, 2017 at UFC Fight Night 113. At the weigh-ins, Calderwood came in at 118 lbs, two pounds over the strawweight limit of 116 lbs. As a result, she was fined 20% of her purse, which went to Calvillo and their bout proceeded as scheduled at a catchweight fight.[6] Calvillo won the fight via unanimous decision. 16 MMA journalists scored the fight to Calvillo. 5 of those scoring it 30-27. [7][8]

Calvillo faced Carla Esparza on December 30, 2017 at UFC 219.[9] She lost the fight by unanimous decision, with all three judges scoring the bout 29-28 for Esparza.[10] After the fight, it was revealed that Calvillo had failed an in-competition drug test for marijuana metabolites.[11] As a result, she was suspended by USADA for 6 months with the ability to reduce the suspension to 3 months by completing a USADA approved drug awareness program. The Nevada Athletic Commission later extended this to 9 months.

Calvillo is expected to face Poliana Botelho on November 17, 2018 at UFC Fight Night 140.[12]
