Jessica Eye Out of UFC Fight Night 197; Cynthia Calvillo Steps in to Face Andrea Lee

A illness has forced Jessica Eye to pull out of a proposed flyweight clash against Andrea Lee at UFC Fight Night 197.

As a result, Cynthia Calvillo will step in to face Lee on Nov. 13. MMAjunkie.com was first to report the new booking. UFC Fight Night 197 takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and is headlined by a featherweight tilt pitting Max Holloway against Yair Rodriguez.

Eye announced her withdrawal in a recent Instagram story.

“[This past Thursday], I thought I was dealing with an allergic reaction to fish eggs that I didn’t notice on my sushi [roll] until it was too late,” Eye wrote on Instagram.
