Cynthia Calvillo Hopes to Be In the Mix With UFC Fight Night 113 Win
Cynthia Calvillo spoke with MMAjunkie about her fight with Joanne Calderwood at UFC Fight Night 113. The highlights are below:
On wanting to fight at UFC 214: “When I got called about the fight, I had asked Dana for a fight in Anaheim. But he came back with, ‘How about Joanne Calderwood in her home town, No. 8 (in the UFC rankings)?’ Of course. I want to be a world champion. When they gave me that opportunity, being ranked No. 14, to fight No. 8, I took it right away.”
On her UFC run so far: “It’s been amazing. These last couple months have been crazy. But I’ve put the work in. A lot of people don’t know about me, but I’ve been behind the scenes putting the work in for many years. I knew this time was going to come. I’m ready and prepared, and I know I belong here. (A win) is definitely going to put me in position to keep climbing up those rankings really fast and hopefully get that title shot next year.”
