LAS VEGAS — Joanne Calderwood nixed the carbohydrates out of her diet about three weeks ago, in preparation for her weight cut ahead of UFC Lincoln.
A couple of days later, the UFC women’s flyweight fighter was getting her physical attributes tested at the UFC Performance Institute — in something called a “shark tank” — and the staff there immediately told her to go back to what she was eating previously.
“They could easily tell me that I needed to add my carbs back in, because I couldn’t reach my peak,” Calderwood told MMA Fighting in a recent sit-down at the UFC PI.
