UFC 264 early prelims results & video: Maia beats Eye, Zhumagulov hits standing guillotine

UFC 264 is officially underway, and the early preliminary portion of the event just closed out with the promotion’s #4 ranked women’s flyweight, Jennifer Maia, winning a unanimous decision over the #7 ranked, Jessica Eye. The fighters spent a lot of time on the feet in this one, with Eye pressuring forward and Maia countering with her right hand. Maia was able to open up a sizable gash on the forehead of Eye, that caused Jessica to bleed quite a bit in the second and third acts. In her post-fight interview, Jennifer requested another shot at the flyweight queen, Valentina Shevchenko, who she lost a decision to back in 2020.
