Pearl Gonzalez is back in a big way.
The longtime mixed martial arts fighter has decided to pick up a sport that she first had success with while growing up in Chicago.
The UFC and BKFC veteran has an upcoming boxing match against Gina Mazany at the Gamebred Boxing 4 event in Milwaukee, so since she can’t eat right now, she decided to wear some food to the pre-fight press conference.
She showed fans on Instagram her outfit.
I can’t the eat the @fruitrollups but you can!! ?✨?
Press conference outfit for @Gamebredboxing today!!

“Well, I’m cutting weight and I can’t eat sweets so I figured why not wear it, right?” Gonzalez said. “So I had my auntie make me this beautiful Fruit Rollup [top]. All my aunties were in the back putting it together, so it’s been a fun journey.
“The hard work’s over, the hard part’s done. I’ve been training. I train in the gym every single day. I work hard. I don’t have a social life. I don’t date. I don’t party. This is my life, so these are the little things that I can do to lighten up the mood, to lighten up my preparation for my weight cut tonight, is wear Fruit Rollups.”
The matchup against Mazany on Saturday actually serves as her third professional boxing match after picking up back-to-back wins in 2022 following a two-fight stint in BKFC.
