Last weekend, in the opening bout of UFC 203<\/a>‘s main card, Scottish strawweight Joanne Calderwood was submitted<\/a> by dangerous Brazilian Jessica Andrade. Despite the loss, however, the Scotswoman’s visit to Cleveland was not entirely negative.<\/p>\n

A few days prior to the fight, Calderwood and her training partner<\/a> UFC flyweight Zach Makovsky were walking down the street when they met a homeless man who told them a few jokes. As a thank you, Calderwood then gave the man a ticket to UFC 203 so that he could watch her fight.<\/p>\n

Regrettably, Calderwood could not deliver a winning performance, but she received a thank you note from the man all the same. Calderwood shared the letter, which mistakenly addresses her as “Jovon” rather than Joanne, on her Instagram.<\/p>\n

This just made my morning, leaving Cleveland with a loss but a smile. I met a homeless man during the week and he walked zach and I down the street a little telling a couple of jokes. He was interested in what was going on and I told him I'd leave a ticket for him to attend the UFC last night. I wasn't sure if he'd go but when I went to check out he left this lovely note. 💗💗💗 #begrateful #behappy #helponeanother #ufc203 #ufccleveland #aprreciatethesmallthings P.s I didn't have the heart to correct him and I kinda like the name jovon (sounds like Joanne)<\/a><\/p>\n
