Joanne Calderwood scored her biggest-ever UFC win when she finished former title contender Valerie Letourneau with a brutal body kick and spinning backfist in the first-ever UFC women’s flyweight bout at last weekend’s (Sat., June 18, 2016) UFC Fight Night 89 from the TD Place Arena in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, but that doesn’t mean she’s automatically

Joanne Calderwood scored her biggest-ever UFC win when she finished former title contender Valerie Letourneau with a brutal body kick and spinning backfist in the first-ever UFC women’s flyweight bout at last weekend’s (Sat., June 18, 2016) UFC Fight Night 89 from the TD Place Arena in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, but that doesn’t mean she’s automatically headed for a lucrative career in MMA.
Fighter pay is an increasingly sensitive subject in the sport of MMA, and it appears that Calderwood’s case is a especially telling example. Despite sitting at No. 12 in the strawweight ranks and sure to move up significantly after defeating previously No. 5-ranked Letourneau, Calderwood posted that she was ‘broke as hell’ after the win and would have to return to another job in order to continue training:
“Badmofo JoJo” failed to win a post-fight bonus for her thrilling main card stoppage of Letourneau, which was mired in controversy after it appeared that the referee was extremely late in stopping the fight, allowing Letourneau to get blasted with an unnecessary spinning backfist after it was clear she had turned away from the action following a vicious third-round body shot.
It was an entertaining and thrilling start to a main card that turned out to be nothing but exciting, but the light heavyweight brawl between Steve Bosse and Sean O’Connell may have prevented Calderwood and Letourneau from sharing “Fight of the Night.”
Regardless, the growing sentiment is that fighters shouldn’t have to depend on bonuses to continue fighting, especially those ranked in the Top 15 of their divisions, so the UFC will continue to be under the heat to pay fighters better, especially after the highly criticized Reebok deal has sapped their endorsement income.
With profits high and a pending sale in the neighborhood of $4.1 billion on the table, it might be tough to get them to care, however.

Former lightweight title challenger and fan favorite Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone recently moved up in weight, scoring a submission victory over Alex Oliveira in a welterweight scrap last month.
It appears as if “Cowboy” may be sticking around 170-pounds for the time being, as MMAFighting.com has reported that Cerrone will take on Patrick Cote at a UFC Fight Night card on June 18, 2016 in Ottawa, Canada.
Prior to his bout with Oliveira, Cerrone had dropped a disappointing loss to 155-pound king Rafael dos Anjos last December. However, “Cowboy” usually tends to remain extremely active, and has won nine of his last 10 fights.
Cote, on the other hand, has been riding a hot streak as of late, winning three consecutive showings. A decision victory over Joe Riggs at April 2015’s UFC 186 started his current winning streak, and “The Predator” has followed that up with back to back finishes over Josh Burkman at UFC Fight Fight Night 74 last August, and Ben Saunders at UFC Fight Night 81 in January.
The UFC’s card in Ottawa is expected to be headlined by a crucial welterweight title eliminator between No. 1-ranked Rory MacDonald and No. 2-ranked Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson.
