In part one of this three-part series, we started our examination of UFC strawweight star Cynthia Calvillo through the lens of current unranked strawweight Amanda Bobby “ABC” Cooper. Now, in part two, we continue our look at “The Calvary” by examining her second Octagon appearance, which came against UFC newcomer Pearl Gonzalez at UFC 210. This exploration into Calvillo’s UFC run will serve to give a better sense of who Calvillo is, how she fights, and what we can expect when she faces off with former Invicta and UFC strawweight champion Carla Esparza at UFC 219, which takes place at the end of the year.
Since Gonzalez’s Octagon debut came against Calvillo, let’s examine her second appearance in versus Poliana Botelho. Botelho was a once-beaten prospect who had lost to fellow UFC fighter and undefeated strawweight Viviane Pereira earlier in her career. Botelho won all of her fights outside of the UFC by some form of knockout stoppage.
