UFC Fighter Cynthia Calvillo Struggles to Stand at Weigh-in 1 Day Before Fight

UFC fans that woke up for Friday's weigh-ins for the upcoming event in Argentina were treated to a scary, but terribly familiar sight.

Just 36 hours separated from her showdown with Poliana Botelho, Cynthia Calvillo struggled to make it to the scale. Literally.

The strawweight contender was visibly unsteady as she moved across the stage, and wavered on multiple occasions. This was followed by the announcement that she had missed weight, coming in at 118 pounds for a fight with a 116-pound limit, and would have to forfeit 20-percent of her purse for the fight.
