UFC 250 last Saturday was headlined by a women’s bout, and so is this Saturday’s UFC Fight Night event, also at the organization’s Apex facility in Las Vegas, as a flyweight fight between Americans Jessica Eye and Cynthia Calvillo tops the card. Once again, no fans will be in attendance.
The 33-year-old Eye (15-7) is ranked as the No. 1 contender in the women’s flyweight division behind Valentina Shevchenko. “Evil” is looking for a rematch with the champion as Shevchenko beat Eye by second-round knockout (head kick) in a title fight at UFC 238 in June 2019. Eye bounced back with a unanimous decision victory over Viviane Araujo in December of last year. That Eye won by decision is no shock as she has taken 73 percent of her victories via the judges. She is -120 for Saturday.
Calvillo (8-1-1), 32, is ranked 10th in the strawweight division. Her past six bouts have been in that division. She comes off a majority draw against Marina Rodriguez in December 2019. Calvillo’s lone loss was at UFC 219 by unanimous decision to former strawweight champion Carla Esparza. Calvillo’s UFC debut was in March 2017 at flyweight and she beat Amanda Bobby Cooper by first-round submission. Calvillo is -110 for Saturday.
