I had lots of excuses about what had happened, now I shake my head in shame at them and realise I was uneducated and unprofessional when it came down to the meat and potatoes (literally). I reached out and got help and made that decision for my career that I’ll never make that unprofessional error again. Time to get help from the @ufcpi …move up and have a bigger problem on your hands..revenge is sweet baby! #iwantthatrematch” – Joanne Calderwood

“Dear @badmofo_jojo , Not once did I ever criticize you for not making weight in our fight. If anything I sympathized. When you apologized I didn’t shrub you off and act like a bitch. Let’s be clear this is the first time I missed weight and I only spoke the truth about what happened. I learned from this error and it will not happen again. As for you, if and when I decide to move up to 125lbs I will gladly whoop your ass again and this time the bell won’t save you 😘” – Cynthia Calvillo

You looked in a real bad way and I have strong belief now that we should’t be killing ourselves like that anymore. But anyway good luck with your next cut and when you do come to 125lbs we will see what an actual ass whooping looks like.” – Joanne Calderwood
