A women’s strawweight bout between Cynthia Calvillo and Pearl Gonzalez has been added to UFC 210.

The fight was announced during the broadcast of UFC Fight Night 107.

Calvillo (4-0) justified the hype train she had behind her in her UFC debut, as she ran through Amanda Cooper in the first round of their bout at UFC 209. Prior to signing with the UFC, the Team Alpha Male product had three wins, with two of those coming by way of stoppage.

Gonzalez (6-1) lost her first professional bout, but since then, has put together six wins. The 30-year-old fought once in 2016, submitting Katie Casimir at HFC 28. Gonzalez fights out of Chicago, Illinois and trains at the Combat-Do training facilities.

UFC 210 takes place live from the Keybank Center in Buffalo, New York on April 8 2017. The card is set to be headlined by a light heavyweight contest between current champion Daniel Cormier and Anthony Johnson.
