Dana White: Joanne Calderwood will get bonus, new contract

Turns out Joanne Calderwood might not have to go out and find work outside MMA after all.

Calderwood, one of the top strawweight fighters in the UFC, scored a memorable finish over Valerie Letourneau on Saturday night in the first women's flyweight bout in UFC history, using a body kick and punches for a third-round TKO win at UFC Fight Night 89 in Ottawa.

But despite the exciting performance, Calderwood was passed over for a post-fight bonus, as Steve Bosse vs. Sean O'Connell got Fight of the Night honors, while Donald Cerrone and Krzysztof Jotko got Performance of the Night for their respective wins.
