Jessica Eye: Out of the Octagon


Listen Later

Jessica Eye is a retired mixed martial artist who competed as a flyweight in the UFC. She signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship in 2013. She retired in 2022. However, in 2016, after a split decision loss to Bethe Correia, Eye announced she was taking a year long hiatus from MMA competition. A horrific car accident caused by a drunk driver when Eye was 16, resulted in a broken back, amoung other injuries. In 2019, Eye wrote an article for the Players Tribune, detailing abuse she suffered as a teenager from her father, including one incident that led to her father being arrested and charged with child endangerment and domestic abuse. As a flyweight, in 2018, Eye was named comeback fighter of the year, due in part according to experts because she was finally able to fight in her natural weight class, Flyweight. My interview with Jessica detailed her early years, and the training work she did with champ Stipe Miocic & the Strong Style Fight Team.
