Here's the match video of Joanne Calderwood vs Jessica Eye from last night's UFC show in Abu Dhabi. Both fighters are looking to get back into the Flyweight title picture. Joanne had a title shot. But while waiting for Valentina Shevchenko to be healthy, she lost the title shot to Jennifer Maia. Joanne is from Scotland but she now trains with John Wood at Syndicate MMA in Las Vegas. Jessica lost a title match and had recent health problems solved when she had her gall bladder removed. She is from Cleveland but now trains with Eric Nicksick at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas. Both fighters prefer standing and neither are finishers. So I expected it to go the distance. Joanne won the fight 30-27 but I didn't think it was a dominant win. She landed more punches and all Jessica tried to do is clinch on the fence. She even did that in round three when she must have known she needed a finish. I still think Jessica Andrade should get the next Flyweight title shot. Enjoy the video!
