Jessica Eye takes on Cynthia Calvillo on Saturday at UFC Fight Night 172 as a narrow -120 favourite on the UFC odds at sportsbooks presented by OddsShark.
Jessica Eye will be looking to strengthen her position as the No. 1 contender in the UFC women’s flyweight division when she takes on Cynthia Calvillo on Saturday at UFC Fight Night 172The 33-year-old American has maintained her ranking after claiming victory in four of five fights ahead of Saturday night’s bout at UFC APEX in Las Vegas.
Eye came up short in her bid for the UFC women’s flyweight title at UFC 238, suffering a second-round KO loss to Valentina Shevchenko as a +750 underdog atsites. In addition, she failed to make weight in her last outing, a 131-pound catchweight matchup with Viviane Araújo at UFC 245 that she won by unanimous decision to pay out on +180 odds.
The 32-year-old native of San Jose, Calif., makes the move to flyweight after missing weight in two of her past three flyweight fights, including her last outing, a three-round clash with Marina Rodriguez that ended in a majority draw. And like Eye, Calvillo has regularly seen fights go the distance, with four of her past five bouts getting decided by the judges. That run includes her lone defeat as a pro, a three-round unanimous decision loss to Carla Esparza at UFC 219 as -225 chalk.
