SCOTLAND'S Joanne Calderwood will fight at UFC Glasgow as the headline event for the Fight Night was announced. 

The 30-year-old from Irvine will face the unbeaten Cynthia Calvillo in front of a home crowd when the Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to the SSE Hydro on July 16. 

Calderwood's bout is the co-main event for the night, with a clash between welterweight contender Gunnar Nelson and Argentinian Santiago Ponzinibbio topping the bill. 

She is unbeaten in her home country, having collected a Fight of the Night win over Cortney Casey when the UFC debuted in Scotland two years ago. 

Icelandic fighter Nelson has recorded recent wins over Albert Tumenov and Alan Jouban which saw him rise into the top ten, while his opponent is coming off four straight victories in the Octagon. 

Tickets for the event will go on sale to the general public on Friday, June 2 at 10am.
