Joanne Calderwood’s path to a title was derailed in 2020, but she already sees how she can get back on the championship track.
Some of the work has already been done. Calderwood scored a key victory over Jessica Eye on the main card of UFC 257 this past month, turning in a strong showing after losing a fight with flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko this past June when Shevchenko withdrew due to an injury. Calderwood lost the title shot when she signed up as a short-notice replacement to fight Jennifer Maia in August and ended up on the wrong end of a first-round armbar submission.
