Featherweight contender Jessica Eye is set to welcome Cynthia Calvillo to the division on June 13. Surprisingly, the fight will serve as the main event for the card that is set to take place in Las Vegas Nevada. The UFC officially announced the full card for next weeks event yesterday while confirming Eye vs. Calvillo would serve as the main event. However, it has been common knowledge that the featherweight fight would top the bill for some time.
Speaking exclusively to LowKickMMA Eye admitted she was surprised to get the call to compete in the main event but more than happy to accept the offer as it’s a dream come true for her and would be for many fighters.
“The call came through. I was taking a nap,” Eye said. “I woke up from my nap, we talked it over and we decided to do it. It’s a great opportunity regardless of who the opponent is. To fight on a UFC main event is a dream coming true for a lot of fighters so regardless of the situation if it’s on ESPN+, ESPN, or even a pay-per-view I’m taking the opportunity for myself because I want it.”
While Eye is understandably delighted to be the main attraction next week the honour hasn’t come without some drawbacks, namely fans criticizing her fight as not main event worthy. The former featherweight title challenger isn’t too worried about the “meaningless” critics whose opinions really don’t matter, she explained.
“Who’s criticism matters? It clearly doesn’t matter because the fight is already made. The best fight league in the world made us the main event. If five losers that don’t respect us or respect the sport just because it’s not what they want, they have an opinion but it doesn’t really matter to me – they’re meaningless. They mean nothing to me and I’m sure they mean nothing to her (Cynthia Calvillo) and they truly mean nothing to the UFC or they wouldn’t make the fight to begin with.”

A women’s flyweight encounter between former title challenger Jessica Eye and Cynthia Calvillo is set to headline the UFC’s upcoming June 13 event.
That’s according to an initial report from ESPN stating that both fighters have agreed to the bout. The event isn’t official as of yet while there isn’t any word on a location or venue either.
However, if sports are to resume in Nevada amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it is likely that it will take place at the UFC’s Apex facility in Las Vegas.
Eye is coming off a unanimous decision victory over Viviane Araújo in December. It marked a return to the win column for the Ohio native following her devastating second-round headkick knockout defeat to Valentina Shevchenko in their women’s flyweight title fight last June. She had previously won her three flyweight fights leading up to the Shevchenko setback.
As for Calvillo, her last outing was in December as well when she fought Marina Rodriguez to a majority decision draw in a women’s strawweight bout. The Team Alpha Male fighter notably missed weight for that fight prompting her to make the move up to 125 pounds. In total, she is 5-1-1 with the UFC since making her debut in 2017.
More fights are expected to be announced in the coming days for the June 13 event.
