Cynthia Calvillo: Jessica Eye cheated to make weight for UFC on ESPN 10, was 3-plus pounds over

Newly minted UFC flyweight Cynthia Calvillo twice said she’s “cool” with Jessica Eye after her win at UFC on ESPN 10. But the one-time title challenger’s actions at the event’s weigh-ins made her curse, prompting a couple of apologies for language.

The reason for Calvillo’s foul language was Eye’s behavior after officially coming in 0.25 pounds heavy for the ESPN-televised headliner, which she said was a smokescreen for missing weight and then cheating on the scale.

“I knew she was going to be huge,” Calvillo told reporters after her win on Saturday.
