NEW YORK – UFC veteran Joanne Calderwood remembers hitting the canvas and thinking, “(Expletive), here we go again.” Her opponent, Kalindra Faria, left Calderwood little time to use the tools she’d trained to snap a two-fight losing streak. Grappling wasn’t in the plan. But as the seconds ticked toward the end of a frenzied opening round, Calderwood (12-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) made an adjustment, and she found a way to turn the tables with a triangle and armbar that produced a tap . The lesson wasn’t lost on “Jojo.” “For me, it was a confidence boost and just shows me my mindset has changed, and it’s still changing,” Calderwood told MMAjunkie on Wednesday in advance of a fight against Ariane Lipski at UFC on ESPN+ 1.
