Joanne Calderwood is livid as she recounts her phone call with an airline’s customer service hotline. All she wants is a flight back home to Scotland, but a miscommunication with an airline has left her without a plane ticket, a lighter bank account and no choice.
“I told them on the phone, I was like, ‘I don’t want to do this, but I’m a UFC fighter,” she recalls, laughing. “I’m just going to get my fans to come hunt you down, and I’m going to kick you in the a**.’”
For the last 10 months, Calderwood has trained and lived in Las Vegas, splitting time between Syndicate MMA and the UFC Performance Institute.
