I remember Pay Wyman on sherdog saying that Calderwood was going to massacre Moroz.
ery fighter has a game plan, but not many have a plan that extends beyond the fight itself. And if they do, fewer still are able to pull it off as well as UFC rookie Maryna “Iron Lady” Moroz did in Krakow on Saturday.
Moroz, the 23-year-old boxer and armbar specialist from Ukraine was the underdog going into her fight against Joanne “JoJo” Calderwood at UFC’s first ever event in Poland, Fight Night 64, and almost no one expected her to make much of an impact at all. In the weeks leading up the event, reporters asked Calderwood, ranked sixth in the division with a 9-0 record, about getting a shot at the women’s Strawweight Championship, already looking past whatever ostensibly meagre challenge Moroz might pose. Vegas oddsmakers pegged her chances at winning at a rather unflattering +550. Bloody Elbow’s Zane Simon went so far as to dismiss her as a one-trick pony. Even the video package that kicked off the broadcast of the night’s main card referred to her as little more than Calderwood’s next step on her way to a shot at the title.
