Cynthia Calvillo says towel was ‘too low’ at weigh-in: I didn’t want to give everyone a ‘free show’

Cynthia Calvillo looked to be on the verge of fainting at the UFC Fight Night 140 weigh-ins but, according to the strawweight herself, she was worried about the towel being ‘too low’ and exposing her private parts.

“I think it looked way worse when I weighed in,” Calvillo told the media on Saturday (h/t MMA Mania’s Jesse Holland). “It looked like I almost fainted, but the truth of the matter is when I got onto the scale my face didn’t look too happy. I was being really careful, the towel itself was too low, they told me to put my hands up and I would have shown my whole top.
