Fighting Rodriguez
Calvillo will fight Piera Rodriguez at UFC Vegas 90 on April 6, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Five consecutive losses caused Calvillo to be cut from the UFC in April, but she is now officially set to return one year after her removal. Momentum will certainly not be on Calvillo's side versus Rodriguez, but both fighters will be a year removed from their last bout which could level the field a bit.
