Apparently if you’re a woman attempting to book a fight in New York you can’t have breast implants because that’s somehow against the rules.
Earlier today, Pearl Gonzalez was notified by the NY state athletic commission that she had been pulled from this weekend’s UFC 210 event because she is not allowed to have breast implants.
I'm told the Calvillo-Gonzalez has been canceled. Per NYSAC, female fighters are not allowed to have implants, thus ruling out Gonzalez.

Calvillo just told me she is hopeful they will overturn this but no word that's actually happened just yet.

Judy asked the NYSAC head about Gonzalez. "I don't want to talk about that right now," he said.

Not sure what’s up with this rule but hopefully Pearl ends up fighting in another state that doesn’t have ridiculous stipulations.
Update: The NYSAC has reversed their decision and are allowin Gonzalez to fight at UFC 210.
