The UFC 210 card, which will be held this Saturday, the 8th, in Buffalo (USA), had a last-minute cancellation. And for an unusual reason. The New York Athletic Commission (NYSAC) vetoed the participation of strawweight Pearl Gonzalez, claiming that the fighter is prohibited from performing because she has silicone implants. She would face Cynthia calvillo on the main card.

Interestingly, the same Commission did not veto, five months ago, the participation of the former champion Miesha Tate, who also has silicone implants, but faced Rachel Pennington at UFC 205. At the time, Tate was defeated by unanimous decision.
Gonzalez, 30 years old, would make his Ultimate debut. Former XFC flyweight champion, she has six wins and one loss on her record. Without the Pearl Gonzalez x confrontation Cynthia calvillo, the UFC 210 card has 12 fights.
