Jessica Eye took a tough loss on Saturday in the UFC on ESPN 10 main event against Cynthia Calvillo.

The unanimous decision defeat, which came in a women’s flyweight headliner at UFC Apex in Las Vegas, wasn’t incredibly lopsided against Eye (15-8 MMA, 5-7 UFC), nor was there an inordinate amount of damage inflicted on her by Calvillo (9-1-1 MMA, 6-1-1 UFC) over the course of five rounds.

The optics of it all don’t paint a particularly kind picture to Eye, though. She missed weight and showed a lack of remorse for doing so, then proceeded to lose to a smaller opponent who was moving up from strawweight and not even ranked in her division.

It wasn’t a good night for Eye, and she’s now 1-1 since her unsuccessful UFC title bid against Valentina Shevchenko at UFC 238 in June 2019, but came in overweight for both contests.

What does the future hold for “Evil” after losing to Calvillo? Watch the video above for some insight and analysis on her next move.
