Joanne Calderwood (born 23 December 1986) is a Scottish Muay Thai champion and mixed martial artist who competes in the Women's Strawweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. As of April 13, 2015, she is #7 in the official UFC Strawweight rankings.[4]

Biography

Calderwood first got started in Muay Thai training by accident. When she was 13, her younger brother was meant to go to a class with his friend who stood him up, so her mother asked her to go along to keep him company. She fell in love with it and begged her mother to allow her to give up competitive swimming to do the two classes each week. This quickly led to doing two sessions a day and spending all of her time training on her own between these sessions.[5]

She worked several jobs growing up, including one after high school that involved her helping children and people who were on ventilation machines, monitoring them in the hospital and assisting them when needed. But those were 12-hour shifts, which drained energy and made training difficult.

She eventually found another gym, left that job to work at the gym and made a significant commitment to her training.

"I had to make a decision if I wanted to keep fighting or stay in my job," she said. "I wanted to keep fighting."[6]

Muay Thai

Calderwood started in Muay Thai in 2000 and was named STBA Fighter of the year in 2009.[7] She is the current ISKA World Flyweight Champion, IKF European Flyweight Champion, the WKL European Flyweight Champion and the WBC UK Bantamweight Champion and is ranked #2 in the world by the World Professional Muaythai Federation. Her final Muay Thai fight was in September 2012 and she had earned a record of 19-2-0.[2]

Mixed martial arts career

Joanne is Scotland's first professional female mixed martial artist.[8] She won her debut bout against Noellie Molina via TKO from punches in the first round.

Calderwood next fought at India's Super Fight League's third event, SFL 3, against Lena Ovchynnikova.[9] She won the fight via unanimous decision.[10]

Calderwood then competed at On Top 5, defeating Ainara Mota via TKO from punches.[11]

Invicta Fighting Championships and Cage Warriors Fighting Championships

She next competed at Invicta Fighting Championships' third event, Invicta FC 3: Penne vs. Sugiyama, against Ashley Cummins on 6 October 2012.[12] Calderwood won the fight via knockout from a knee to the body in the first round.[13] She was awarded a Knockout of the Night bonus for the victory.[14]

Calderwood was scheduled to face Bec Hyatt at Invicta FC 4: Esparza vs. Hyatt on 5 January 2013 in Kansas City.[15] However, Hyatt was moved to the main event and Calderwood was instead matched up against Livia von Plettenberg.[16] Calderwood won the fight via unanimous decision.[17][18] This was Calderwood's debut on the main card of an Invicta FC event.

At Cage Warriors Fighting Championship 53 on 13 April 2013 in Glasgow, Scotland, Calderwood faced American Sally Krumdiack.[19][20] She defeated Krumdiack by first-round TKO.[21]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

The Ultimate Fighter

On 11 December 2013, it was announced that Calderwood was signed by the UFC along with ten other strawweight fighters to compete on season 20 of The Ultimate Fighter, which will crown the first ever UFC women's strawweight champion.[30] She defeated Emily Kagan by majority decision after two rounds to advance to the quarterfinals. She was defeated by Rose Namajunas in the quarterfinals via kimura in the second round. Despite her loss in this semifinal round fight, Calderwood was awarded a $25,000 Fight of the Season bonus for this bout.[31]

Calderwood's first fight after The Ultimate Fighter was against Seohee Ham at the The Ultimate Fighter: A Champion Will Be Crowned Finale on 12 December 2014.[32] She won the fight by unanimous decision.[33]

Calderwood faced promotional newcomer Maryna Moroz on 11 April 2015 at UFC Fight Night 64. Calderwood lost the fight as she was quickly submitted via armbar in the first round.[34]
