UFC Fight Night

In tonight’s UFC main event Jessica Eye faces off against Cynthia Calvillo. Eye is hoping to make it two wins in a row since her devastating KO loss to Valentina Shevchenko. Calvillo will be making her flyweight debut after moving up from strawweight. Who’ll win? Let’s see what the LowKickMMA staff think…

Jordan Ellis: I have to give the edge to Jessica Eye in this fight. On paper, it seems pretty even in terms of skill but Eye is much bigger than her opponent. The former flyweight title challenger seems destined for a step up in weight after back-to-back weight misses, whereas Cynthia Calvillo is making her flyweight debut after stepping up. She will be the smaller fighter tonight and may struggle to impose her will on Eye who should dictate the fight.

Prediction: Jessica Eye

Abhinav Kini: I’m going to have to give the edge to Cynthia Calvillo on this one. While this could easily end up going the distance and resulting in a split or close decision verdict with either fighter winning, I just think Calvillo is the better overall martial artist who may even pull off a submission win. Jessica Eye also missed weight and while that can be an advantage for most, I think she also did more harm to her body given how she looked at the weigh-ins.

Prediction: Cynthia Calvillo

Ryan Galloway: In the main event of this weekend’s card, we will see the Cynthia Calvillo move up in weight to take on former title challenger Jessica Eye. This is a pretty simple matchup in my opinion. For Calvillo to get the win she is going to need to get it to the ground and find a submission. On the feet I believe Eye is the better striker and she is also the bigger girl. Her reach is going to allow her to keep distance and control the fight. I’m taking Eye to get the win by decision.

Prediction: Jessica Eye

Ryan Maccarthy: I have Cynthia Cavillo taking this by decision. I think she uses her wrestling background to her advantage to neutralize Eye. The pressure will be too much.

Prediction: Cynthia Calvillo

Top flyweight contender Jessica Eye missed weight earlier today. ‘Evil’ came in 0.5lbs over the 126lb limit for her main event match-up against Cynthia Cavillo which will take place at the UFC Apex Facility in Las Vegas, Nevada tomorrow night.

As you can see from the video below Eye had a pretty tough weight cut and needed to strip down in order to get anywhere near her contracted weight. The former title challenger then posed for media but can be seen visibly shaking, as Eye stepped off the scale she said. “I don’t think I can stand, guys. I’m sorry.”

Eye scored a big win over Viviane Araujo in her last fight but also missed weight. On that occasion Eye missed the flyweight limit by 5lbs. Speaking to LowKickMMA last week Eye revealed the reason for her failure to make weight and assured it wouldn’t be an issue against Calvillo, she said.

“It’s unfortunate. I’m a female and I have a menstrual cycle that I can’t get away from. But I did miscalculate things while being on that on fight week. I’ve had that problem before in the past and it’s never stopped me from missing weight but somehow it stopped me from making weight this time. It’s something I don’t surely have to deal with this time and I’m going to make sure it isn’t a problem moving forward.”

Eye is looking to make it two wins in a row since suffering a huge KO loss at the hands of flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko. The 33-year-old is still ranked number one in the division and seems to be on the cusp of another title shot – although missing weight twice in a row could mean she moves back up to bantamweight sooner rather than later.

Do you think Jessica Eye should move back up to bantamweight after this latest weight miss?
