A key women’s flyweight bout headlines the UFC’s third event in Las Vegas since the company resumed operations after coming to a halt due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Former UFC title challenger Jessica Eye welcomes Cynthia Calvillo to the 125-pound division in the headlining slot of the June 13 event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
The move to flyweight comes as no surprise for Calvillo. She has missed weight three times trying to make the strawweight limit in her UFC career. Regardless, she’s still considered a bright prospect and faces a tough test against top contender Eye.
In the co-main event, a heated middleweight bout between Karl Roberson and Marvin Vettori takes the stage. This is the third time the UFC rebooked the matchup. It’s been canceled twice previously. The most recent cancellation brewed a hostile exchange between the two competitors in May in Jacksonville, Fla.

The fights keep coming!
