Manos Terzitane, founder of ManoManagement said “We are very excited and proud to welcome Joanne to the team. We admire her competitive spirit, hard work and dedication that she puts in daily, and are confident that she will be making big news in the UFC in the near future. We look forward to helping her increase her already popular image and developing her career even further. She reminds me of a young Gustafsson, a raw talent, extremely humble and likeable personality. The keys to success!”
Calderwood commentated: “Since being signed to the UFC I have received an abundance of offers from management firms across the globe, however, it wasn’t hard for me to immediately sign with ManoManagement. They have a long-lasting relationship with my team and I’m glad to be taken under their wings for the next step of this exciting journey.”
