\u201cOnce we got off the (UFC Argentina) scale I\u2019ve been keeping her zoned in.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cShe had a brutal cut because she got her period.” <\/em>Buckholz explained. “She work up at 118-pounds, 2-pounds over. We cut from 5:30 am to 9:00 am with Lockhart and Leith. We used baths, saunas, a rubber suit, treadmill, bike, but still nothing was coming off.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cShe is tougher than me I\u2019ll tell you that,\u201d<\/em> Buckhold said of Calvillo. \u201cShe just couldn\u2019t sweat. I\u2019ve been doing this for 10-years at the highest level. It wasn\u2019t through a lack of effort or not being disciplined. Last Saturday she was just 10-pounds over at 126, that\u2019s lower than when she fought four times in that year. We seriously did everything possible. That\u2019s all I can ask. She did it all like a savage.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nBecause she missed weight for tonight’s UFC Argentina event, Cynthia Calvillo will be forced to give up 20% of her purse. The money will find a home with her UFC Argentina opponent\u00a0Poliana Botelho.<\/p>\n
UFC Argentina is headlined by a welterweight fight featuring Santiago Ponzinibbio taking on Neil Magny.<\/p>\n
In the co-main event of the evening featherweight standouts Ricardo Lamas and Darren Elkins will battle in hopes of moving up the 145-pound ranks.<\/p>\n
Will Cynthia Calvillo be fully recovered by the time she fights Poliana Botelho at UFC Argentina?<\/p>\n
