Short-notice opponent Cortney Casey came out swinging, and Joanne Calderwood responded.
The strawweight combatants pocketed a $50,000 “Fight of the Night” bonus as a result of their entertaining clash at UFC Fight Night at the SSE Hydro Arena in Glasgow on Saturday. Meanwhile, Joseph Duffy and Steven Ray received $50,000 “Performance of the Night” paychecks for their respective victories.
Coming off an upset loss to Maryna Moroz in her last outing, Calderwood started slowly against Casey, as the Phoenix-based fighter put the Invicta FC veteran on her heels with a barrage of hard punches in the bout’s opening moments.
