Joanne Calderwood was ‘shocked’ she’s opening up UFC 238 | ESPN MMA

Joanne Calderwood speaks with ESPN MMA’s Ariel Helwani about opening up the UFC 238 prelims vs. Katlyn Chookagian, saying she was “shocked” about it. Despite that, she feels she’s a win away from a flyweight title shot and preferring it to be against Valentina Shevchenko instead of Jessica Eye.
