Cynthia Calvillo will return to the strawweight division, where she was once ranked as a top fighter, as she’s booked to face Loopy Godinez. The bout is expected to take place at UFC 287 on April 8 and ESPN Deportes was first to report news of the booking.

Godinez is 3-3 in the UFC and comes from a loss to Angela Hill this past August while Calvillo comes from four straight losses in the flyweight division.

At this point, no main event or a location is announced for UFC 287.
