Joanne Calderwood vs. Kalindra Faria set for UFC Lincoln

“JoJo” will compete for the first time since July 2017 when she fights Kalindra Faria in a women’s flyweight bout at UFC Lincoln on Aug. 25 at the Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Neb. Sources confirmed the bout with MMA Fighting’s Guilherme Cruz, and the UFC officially announced the bout on Friday.

In her last appearance vs. Cynthia Calvillo at UFC Glasgow, a strawweight affair, Calderwood (11-3) missed weight by two pounds and went on to lose a unanimous decision. She now moves up to the 125-pound division, where she has competed once in the UFC.
