Cynthia Calvillo-Livinha Souza, Ryan Hall-Darren Elkins among UFC Sacramento bouts announced

Seven fights were announced Tuesday for the UFC’s return event in Sacramento, Calif.

Among the most noteworthy bouts announced for UFC on ESPN+ 13 were a featherweight matchup between Ryan Hall and Darren Elkins, and a women’s strawweight bout between Cynthia Calvillo and Livinha Souza.

The company stated it has seven fights lined up for the July 13 card at Golden 1 Center, which were published in The Sacramento Bee.

In the women’s fight, Calvillo (8-1 MMA; 5-1 UFC) seeks to build on the momentum of a two-fight win streak. Souza (13-1 MMA: 2-0 UFC), the former Invicta FC strawweight champion, is on a four-fight win streak.
