Meet The First UFC Female Who Was Banned For Breast Implants

Former UFC fighter now Invicta fighter, Pearl Gonzalez.

Ultimate Fighting Championship have made their way into Buffalo, New York for “UFC 210”. Daniel Cormier will be stepping into the octagon in the main event to defend his UFC Light Heavyweight Championship against Anthony “Rumble” Johnson, but perhaps the fight most fans were excited for was scheduled to kick off the main card.

Cynthia Calvillo was originally slated to square off with Pearl Gonzalez in the main card of the event, but the bout has been scrapped for bizarre reasons. Gonzalez will not be able to make her octagon debut due to the fact that she has breast implants, which are prohibited in combat sports in New York. The rulebook states:

“Due to the concern over rupture, boxers who have breast implants are not eligible to box in New York. Boxers who have had breast reduction surgeries are eligible to box.”

Gonzalez boasts an impressive record of six wins and one loss, and she is currently riding a six-fight win streak. The San Diego Combat Academy fighter will have to wait for another day to make an impact inside the octagon. She has been documenting her journey toward the UFC on her Instagram, and you can follow it along with her in the posts below:
