LAS VEGAS – Jessica Eye is done with her professional fighting career.
The 35-year-old Ohio native announced her retirement following a decision loss to fellow women's flyweight Maycee Barber at Saturday's UFC 276 event at T-Mobile Arena.
"I think it's time," Eye told in-cage interviewer Joe Rogan.
Fighting professionally since 2009, "Evil" Eye (15–11 MMA, 5–10 UFC) made her UFC debut in 2013 in the women's bantamweight division. She would end up fighting for the organization some 15 times.
Eye moved down to the 125-pound division in 2018 and rattled off three consecutive wins over Kalindra Faria, Jessica-Rose Clark and Katlyn Chookagian to earn a shot at women's flyweight champion Valaentina Shevchenko.
