UFC strawweight Cynthia Calvillo has shared her thoughts on Joanne Calderwood believing she won their fight last month.
At a UFC Fight Night in Glasgow, Scotland, Calvillo fought Calderwood in the co-main event.
Calvillo earned the biggest win of her MMA career when she earned a decision win over Calderwood in Calderwood’s home country.
“She got off a little easy,” Calvillo said about her decision win against Calderwood while appearing on a recent episode of Stud Radio.
After the fight, Calvillo said she was worried about being robbed since the fight was taking place in Calderwood’s home country.
After Calvillo said she was worried about being robbed out loud, Calderwood responded by saying all Calvillo did was run away for the entire fight.
“My face isn’t the one that’s bleeding,” Calvillo said.
“I didn’t take her down (for the majority of the fight), but when I did I almost submitted her and she didn’t want to give me credit. I fought a great MMA fight.
“She didn’t do (expletive) to me. Her face was busted. I almost subbed her twice. She was in way more danger the one minute of me playing my game, then I was playing 14 minutes of her (expletive) game.”
With her win over Calderwood, Calvillo went from prospect to contender. Calvillo is now ranked No. 8 in the official UFC women’s strawweight rankings.
