UFC strawweight Cynthia Calvillo will return to the octagon after serving her nine-month suspension for testing positive for marijuana metabolites, as she faces Poliana Botelho at UFC Buenos Aires.
Combate first reported the matchup, though the UFC is yet to make an official announcement. Calvillo later announced the fight on her social media. Originally, Calvillo was facing just a six-month suspension, with the possibility of shortening that to three-months with the completion of a USADA-approved drug awareness and management program. However, the Nevada Athletic Commission extended her suspension to nine months.
Calvillo (6-1) almost had a flawless 2017 up until she was defeated by Carla Esparza at UFC 219.
