Some might call it thick skin. Jessica Eye just calls it ignoring trolls.
In the days following the announcement that Eye will headline UFC on ESPN 10 against Cynthia Calvillo this weekend, the former flyweight title contender was bombarded with remarks from fans who didn’t like the fight as the main event.
There were comments like “worst headliner of all time” and “I bet the arena would look the same if you tried to sell fans tickets.”
Now negativity and social media seem to go hand-in-hand but Eye has learned that putting any weight behind what people say behind a screen name on Twitter just isn’t worth her time.
