Turns momentum to pick up submission win
Calderwood defeated Kalindra Faria via submission (armbar) at 4:57 of Round 1 at UFC Lincoln on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Calderwood was taken down early and spent much of the first round on her back, where she was content to try and land elbows as opposed to getting back to her feet. She eventually locked in a head-and-arm triangle from her back, and while it initially looked like Faria would escape, Calderwood used the advantageous position to secure an armbar. WIth just three seconds left in the round, Faria tapped. It appears the move to the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas has helped to make Calderwood a more well-rounded fighter, as this was her first career win by submission. With a recent two-fight losing streak now behind her, a hungry Calderwood asked for another fight before the end of 2018.

Withdraws from fight against Rawlings
Calderwood was forced out of her strawweight matchup with Bec Rawlings on November 19 due to an undisclosed injury, Shaun Al-Shatti of MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
In Calderwood's place, Jessica-Rose Clark will step in to face Rawlings at UFC Fight Night 121 in Sydney, Australia. At this time, there has been no indication as to what sort of injury Calderwood sustained, or how long she will be out, but the 31-year-old is expected to take some time to recover. Although JoJo sports an 11-3 record professionally, she is just 3-3 in UFC fights and has lost her previous two bouts to Cynthia Calvillo and Jessica Andrade in the past 15 months.
