John Wood is confident that Joanne Calderwood will shock the world and dethrone UFC women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko . Calderwood (14-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC) was scheduled to face Shevchenko (19-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) at UFC 251 in June, but the fight was postponed after Shevchenko suffered an undisclosed injury . In the meantime, Calderwood has been staying ready with her head coach and fiancee Wood, who has set up a home gym in their garage. “Jojo, she’s fired up,” Wood told MMA Junkie. “She’s been waiting for this opportunity her whole career and, obviously, for the last year we’ve been kinda on deck, knowing this was going to be the eventual projection of her career, to fight for the title. So, when it got announced we were obviously excited and stoked, and then literally right after, it got shut down, so we figured it was going to be pushed back anyway
