Digs deep to get hand raised
Calderwood defeated Andrea Lee via split decision (30-27, 28-29, 29-28) at The Arena on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Calderwood seemed outgunned by the strength and wrestling of her opponent in the clinch in Round 1, but it looked as though her opponent faded in the desert heat, which allowed JoJo to stay on her feet and establish her striking. Calderwood dropped a controversial decision to Katlyn Chookagian in June but seems to be finding a late-career surge, having won three of her last four fights. She improves to 14-4 in professional MMA as a result of the victory.

Booked for UFC 242
Calderwood will take on Andrea Lee in a flyweight bout at UFC 242 on Sept. 7, John Morgan of MMA Junkie reports.
ANALYSIS
Calderwood is coming off a loss just under a month ago to Katlyn Chookagian via unanimous decision at UFC 238. That put an end to what was a two-fight winning streak and she has now dropped three of her last five UFC bouts. Calderwood should be in for another competitive outing with both women ranked in the top 15 of the flyweight division.

Fails to sway the judges
Calderwood lost to Katlyn Chookagian via unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC 238 on Saturday in Chicago.
ANALYSIS

Fighting Katlyn Chookagian at UFC 238
Calderwood is scheduled to fight Katlyn Chookagian at UFC 238 on June 8 in Chicago, Phil Thompson of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Calderwood is going to go into the bout with more momentum behind her after winning her last two bouts against Ariane Lipski and Kalindra Faria, while Chookagian is coming off a narrow loss in her most recent outing against Jessica Eye. Both women are ranked in the top 10, however, so it's likely going to be a close fight in the women's flyweight in Chicago.

Dominates Ariane Lipski as underdog
Calderwood defeated Ariane Lipski via unanimous decision (30-26, 30-26, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
It was a thorough, dominant effort for Calderwood as an underdog.
