Really blown away by the support that I feel I don’t deserve esp after my performance and from so many amazing people. I want you guys to know the truth and I tried my best to not give up … I didn’t pull out of the fight because I felt it was the only thing I had to hold onto, well it has turned into the only purpose in my life. I guess in life sometimes it is okay to put your hands up and say your not okay. I am my own worst enemy for this and think I can deal with anything as long as i can train and fight but at the end of the day I got in there and found out the hard way the I am not. I ‘m not going to make excuses my training was as always the best and I really gave everything as always and my focus was only on the fight. As for my Personal life it has not been good and to make matters worse I had to deal with something that I am still in shock about the night before my fight. I don’t know what’s next but I know everything could be a lot worse and you shouldn’t complain about life esp with I am doing what I love. I guess it’s now just a case of finding the right people that are with me here at the bottom and get back to looking at the stars again.
“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”
For those members of the UG who have reading comprehension issues, Calderwood is not making excuses, She is in fact apologizing, and acknowledging that the rumors are correct.
Personal problems are of course a part of the human condition. The difference here is that if most people have major issues in their personal life they can take a few days off, may snap at co workers, or go cry out of sight. In Calderwood’s case, she was in front of millions, with a world-class fighter trying to defeat her. Calderwood is a fighter, who has been training in combat sports since 2000. There is every expectation that she will get through this and return to winning form.
Hopefully soon.
