ABU DHABI – Joanna Calderwood intends to deliver a complete performance against Andrea Lee at UFC 242, one that puts her back in women’s flyweight title contention.
After taking what she felt was an unjust loss to Katlyn Chookagian in her previous outing, Calderwood (13-4 MMA, 5-4 UFC) promises to pick up the pace even more in her fight with Lee (11-2 MMA, 3-0 UFC).
“Just be more busy and even though some shots don’t land, in my last fight the judges seen that as a good thing,” Calderwood said Wednesday at UFC 242 open workouts. “Just stay more busy and enjoy myself.”
Calderwood said she likes the style matchup with Lee because she’s an “exciting fighter” who will mix it up with her in the octagon.
The Scottish fighter said she hopes for the finish but will ensure victory if the fight reaches the scorecards.
“I’m going to get the win. I’m going to go in there and do whatever it takes to get the win in the judges’ eye or submission, KO or whatever to get back in the win column.”
UFC 242 takes place Saturday at The Arena in Yas Island. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and ESPN+/UFC Fight Pass.
