In UFC Glasgow’s co-main event, Scotland’s own Joanne Calderwood met budding contender Cynthia Calvillo in a hard-hitting clash of styles.
It was a back and forth match-up– in the first round Calvillo gained control of Calderwood’s back and hunted for a RNC, but the clock ran out. In the second round, Calderwood landed a solid spinning backfist that almost took Calvillo off her feet. Finally, in the third round, Calvillo took Calderwood down in the last minute of the fight and almost secured a RNC. Calvillo’s handy work was enough to win over the Scottish judges in Calderwood’s hometown.

Get out kicked the entire fight, but apparently judges don’t count kicks as strikes or in scoring. No, the judges only count two let round takedowns from a fighter who was doing the ole adage of get one takedown and the round is won. This was utter garbage.
