Joanne Calderwood (born 23 December 1986) is a Scottish Muay Thai champion and mixed martial artist who competes in the Women's Strawweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. As of April 13, 2015, she is #7 in the official UFC Strawweight rankings.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fighter Rankings - UFC ® )〕 ==Biography== Calderwood first got started in Muay Thai training by accident. When she was 13, her younger brother was meant to go to a class with his friend who stood him up, so her mother asked her to go along to keep him company. She fell in love with it and begged her mother to allow her to give up competitive swimming to do the two classes each week. This quickly led to doing two sessions a day and spending all of her time training on her own between these sessions. She worked several jobs growing up, including one after high school that involved her helping children and people who were on ventilation machines, monitoring them in the hospital and assisting them when needed. But those were 12-hour shifts, which drained energy and made training difficult. She eventually found another gym, left that job to work at the gym and made a significant commitment to her training. "I had to make a decision if I wanted to keep fighting or stay in my job," she said. "I wanted to keep fighting." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joanne Calderwood」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
