It’s turning out to be quite the year for Syndicate MMA owner and head coach John Wood and UFC women’s flyweight contender Joanne Calderwood . The pair recently announced their engagement, with their decision to tie the knot coming at the best point in the Scottish contender’s MMA career. Wood is used to dealing with the white-hot heat of cornering fighters during big-time fight nights, but Calderwood revealed he was a little hot under the collar as the pressure of a marriage proposal took hold. “I’m basically still in shock – happy,” she said. “My ring is getting resized, but when I look at it I can’t stop looking at it. He was sweating.” Wood responded: “It was 100 degrees outside, of course I was sweating! “I’d thought about it before, and we’d been going on almost two years now being together… it was just time when we had a vacation planned that I knew that was going to completely take her off guard.
