Calvillo suffered her fifth consecutive defeat at UFC 287 this past Saturday, as she dropped a split decision to Lupita Godinez in a preliminary strawweight bout. Based on a statement released on her Instagram, Calvillo seemed to be in good spirits following the setback.
“Hell of a fight. Physically and mentally this was the best I’ve felt in a long time,” she wrote. “Didn’t get the result we worked for but still gained a lot. It feels good to be back at strawweight and I can’t wait to see what’s next.”
Calvillo vacillated between strawweight and flyweight during a 13-bout UFC tenure. She made her promotional debut with just a 3-0 professional mark and proceeded to go 6-1-1 in her first eight UFC appearances. She fell on hard times after that, losing to the likes of Katlyn Chookagian, Jessica Andrade, Andrea Lee and Nina Nunes before falling to Godinez.
