Pros react after Cynthia Calvillo defeats Jessica Eye at UFC on ESPN 10
A key women’s strawweight bout featuring Jessica Eye taking on Cynthia Calvillo headlined tonight’s UFC on ESPN 10 event in Las Vegas.
Eye (15-7 MMA) had missed weight for tonight’s headliner and was thus forced to forfeit a portion of her fight purse to Calvillo. The miss marked the second straight contest that Jessica Eye has failed to make the flyweight limit.
‘Evil Eye’ was most previously seen in action at December’s UFC 245 event where she scored a unanimous decision victory over Viviane Araujo. That win was preceded by a brutal knockout loss to Valentina Shevchenko, who destroyed Jessica with a nasty head kick.
Meanwhile, Cynthia Calvillo (8-1-1 MMA) was most previously seen in action at December’s UFC event in Washington where she fought to a majority draw with Marina Rodriguez. Prior to that, the 32-year-old was riding a two-fight win streak, which included a submission win over Poliana Botelho.
Tonight’s UFC on ESPN 10 main event proved to be a one side affair. Cynthia Calvillo was able to get the better of Jessica Eye for the majority of the five round affair and thus was awarded a unanimous decision victory from the judges in attendance.
