Atomweight Laura Sanko has been forced to withdraw from her upcoming bout at Invicta FC 6 after revealing she's become pregnant. Originally slated to face Livia Von Plettenberg on the July card, Sanko has been replaced by relative newcomer Cassie Robb.

Robb, 0-1 since making her professional debut in January, was submitted by Sanko via a second-round rear naked choke at Invicta FC 4. Von Pletten...

Smith is a high output kickboxer with a deep striking arsenal and an ability to continually bring the fight to her opponents. Even i...

Joanne Calderwood's haircut is the most futuristic thing we have in the entire sport of MMA. Calderwood's hair is what we envisioned the future to be like back in 1994. If Joanne ever quit MMA, she could lead a group of roller-blading cyber hackers that roam sewer tunnels with neon hockey sticks. Joanne Calderwood is sponsored by Johnny Mnemonic.

Every chick in Los Angeles should rock Calderwo...

This weekend I felt that at some point, a hurricane kick would come into play during an MMA event and I could use this picture as banner. My intuition was garbage. It led me wrong, like the entire series of Lost. Sally Krumdiack's hurricane backfist was the closest thing to it -- although she was brutally TKOd just seconds after it happened. It wasn't her desire to pull off a hurricane backfist...

Scottish knockout artist Joanne “JoJo” Calderwood picked up another impressive victory tonight in front of her hometown fans at Cage Warriors Fighting Championship 53 in Glasgow, Scotland. Calderwood stopped American veteran “Slick” Sally Krumdiack with punches in the first round. Calderwood pressed the action with kicks, but Krumdiack was game and she landed some nice [...]

Ahead of their fights at Saturday's Cage Warriors 53 event, the organization has released a video of Scotland's most notable MMA couple, fighters Joanne Calderwood and James Doolan.

Joanne Calderwood has always been down for a good fight, so when Invicta FC gave her permission to fight in her home country for this weekend's Cage Warriors 53 event, it was a no-brainer.

MMAjunkie.com Radio today welcomes to the show Joanne Calderwood, Chris Scott and Chris Irwin. In addition, the three-hour show will feature a live stream of the UFC on FOX 7 media call.

Your life will be enriched if you automatically assume that everyone from Scotland could be considered an immortal Highlander and the only way to kill them is to chop their head off with a broadsword. The only way you'll know if someone is truly a highlander after you lop their skull is if lightning sporadically appears and you inherit their power. It's also important to note that MiddleEasy do...

A strawweight matchup between Joanne Calderwood and fellow Invicta FC veteran “Slick” Sally Krumdiack has been added to Cage Warriors Fighting Championship 53 on April 13th in Glasgow, Scotland. Cage Warriors officials announced plans for the 115-pound main card fight earlier today. Calderwood is one of the sport’s top female strikers and remains unbeaten in [...]

A bout between strawweights Joanne Calderwood and Sally Krumdiack is among the new additions to next month's Cage Warriors 53 card.

Joanne Calderwood, judging by this picture she's either proud of being from Scotland or protesting against the color blue. You've undoubtedly seen her crushing knee-to-the-body KO over Ashley Cummins at Invicta FC 3 and this past weekend (if you were able to get your Ustream working) her unanimous decision victory over Austria's Livia von Plettenberg. However most of you may have missed a rathe...
