Cynthia Calvillo made her way down the octagon oozing confidence and charisma, letting the world know that she is the next big thing to come out of Team Alpha Male. Her opponent, Pearl Gonzalez, walked into the fight as a major underdog due to the fact that Calvillo had turned so many heads in her last octagon outing, bookies and fans alike were excited to see what she would do next.
Calvillo didn’t only impress, but she may have just made a major leap in the strawweight rankings. She proved she has what it takes to maintain the same pace for the entire fight before submitting Pearl in the final round.
