It sounds like the last few months have really taken their toll on former flyweight title contender Jessica Eye. After a rough early UFC run in the women’s bantamweight division, Eye reinvented herself back down at flyweight, picking up three straight victories on her way to fighting Valentina Shevchenko for the title. The title fight may not have gone the way she would have hoped, but Eye bounced back with a win over Viviane Araujo, before taking another recent loss to Cynthia Calvillo.
However, in the background of those last three bouts, Eye was apparently dealing with other major life struggles; intermittent abdominal pain, light-headedness, and even occasional vision problems have plagued the former Strong Style fighter over the last year.
