In a perfect world, Cynthia Calvillo would have been a lot more active over the past two years.
Unfortunately, the 32-year-old strawweight contender has only fought twice in the past 13 months, with her third bout scheduled tonight at UFC on ESPN 7. She faces Marina Rodriguez in the co-main event.
Calvillo, who missed weight for Saturday’s fight and was forced to give 30 percent of her purse to Rodriguez, initially was scheduled to return to action during the summer. But a broken foot knocked her out of a potential fight in her adopted hometown of Sacramento, Calif.
