UFC fighter Jessica Eye spoke to Cosmopolitan about the body image issues that female MMA fighters face on a daily basis.
Last month, Cosmopolitan featured a story on women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey and how gaining 15 pounds made her "feel more beautiful." It was a surprising editorial choice for Cosmo, yet one they have followed up on. In their latest MMA feature, the longstanding magazine spoke to Jessica Eye, who opened up about the body image issues that female fighters face on a daily basis.
According to Eye, she was always vividly aware that her body did not match society's "norm," which used to bother her to no avail.
