Throughout the course of her UFC career, Jessica Eye has learned to embrace the role of being the underdog.
As an undersized bantamweight, Eye managed to hold her own against many of the top fighters in the world at 135 pounds but she knew that division was never meant to be her home.
Now that she’s fighting at flyweight, Eye has rattled off three straight wins in a row to earn a shot at champion Valentina Shevchenko in the UFC 238 co-main event this weekend in Chicago.
Prior to moving to the UFC, Eye amassed an impressive 10-1 record with most of her fights taking place at 125 pounds but she’s still had to prove to the world that she’s a legitimate threat to the championship.
