A women’s flyweight division attraction will headline the June 13 UFC card as #1 Jessica Eye faces #10 (Strawweight) Cynthia Calvillo.
Brett Okamoto of ESPN first reported the main event encounter.
Eye (15-7-0-1NC) has won four of her last five in the UFC, with those wins coming over Kalindra Faria, Jessica-Rose Clark, Katlyn Chookagian and Viviane Araujo. Eye has previously challenged for the UFC Women’s Flyweight Title, losing to Valentina Shevchenko at UFC 238. Eye is going to be headlining her first UFC card, despite having been with the promotion for almost seven years.
Calvillo (8-1-1) has won two of her last four in the UFC, having picked up victories over Poliana Botelho and Cortney Casey. Calvillo is also headlining her first UFC, but this fighter has been with the promotion for only three years. Calvillo has competed ten times as a professional MMA fighter and half of those bouts went the distance.
UFC Fight Night: Eye vs. Calvillo takes place on Saturday, June 13 from a location to be announced with Jessica Eye and Cynthia Calvillo headlining. Fightful is providing live coverage of the event, while broadcast plans have yet to be announced.
