The Ultimate Fighting Championship has charged two Top 10-ranked women with pushing its makeshift 2020 schedule forward.
Jessica Eye on Saturday will square off with Cynthia Calvillo in the UFC on ESPN 10 main event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, where the promotion set up shop in response to the COVID-19 pandemic while finalizing its plans for Fight Island. Meanwhile, Karl Roberson takes on Marvin Vettori in the three-round co-headliner at a 190-pound catchweight.
Eye has rattled off four wins in five appearances, a brutal knockout loss to reigning flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko the lone outlier.
