Paige VanZant injured, UFC 216 bout against Jessica Eye scrapped

Fans who were already turning their nose up at UFC 216 may have just found another reason to be less excited for the event. One of the first – following 2016’s Joanne Calderwood vs. Valerie Letourneau fight – women’s flyweight bouts in UFC promotional history has just been pulled from the card. Paige VanZant was expected to move up from 115 lbs and meet Jessica Eye (herself moving down from 135 lbs) on the Las Vegas fight card.

Eye hinted that trouble might be on the horizon in a post on social media early Monday, September 25th.
