Lauren Murphy happy with Joanne Calderwood win, but ‘cried about’ not getting finish

Lauren Murphy picked up another key victory on her path to a title shot on Saturday, but she wishes the result could have been more conclusive. In a bout that likely determined the next challenger for flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko, Murphy picked up a split decision win over Joanne Calderwood at UFC 263, which took place at Gila River Arena in Glendale Ariz. The first and third rounds of the bout were competitive standup frames, while Murphy won the most convincing round in the second as she worked Calderwood over on the ground.

Joanne Calderwood open to Lauren Murphy fight, then winner of Valentina Shevchenko vs. Jessica Andrade

Joanne Calderwood’s path to a title was derailed in 2020, but she already sees how she can get back on the championship track. Some of the work has already been done. Calderwood scored a key victory over Jessica Eye on the main card of UFC 257 this past month, turning in a strong showing after losing a fight with flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko this past June when Shevchenko withdrew due to an injury. Calderwood lost the title shot when she signed up as a short-notice replacement to fight Jennifer Maia in August and ended up on the wrong end of a first-round armbar submission.
