Cynthia Calvillo beats Jessica Eye by unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night

Cynthia Calvillo is a UFC women's flyweight contender after just one fight in the division.

Calvillo rolled in a unanimous decision (49-46, 49-46, 48-47) win over Jessica Eye on Saturday night in the main event of UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas. Calvillo took Eye down in four out of five rounds and outstruck the bigger Eye on the feet.

This was Calvillo's debut at flyweight after spending the duration of her UFC career previously at strawweight, where she struggled with making weight. Eye missed weight by .25 pounds Friday and had to forfeit 25% of her purse to Calvillo.
