Jessica Eye

BIOGRAPHY

Jessica Eye is one of MMA’s most successful female fighters. She has been competing professionally since 2012 and has competed in the UFC, Bellator, and Legacy Fighting Championships.

Eye was born on July 27th 1986 in Euclid, Ohio. Growing up she was always active, playing a variety of sports including soccer and track & field. Eventually her competitive spirit led her to begin boxing at the age of 16 where she soon learned that she had natural talent for striking-based combat sports. After high school, Eye decided to pursue a career as an amateur boxer before eventually transitioning into MMA in 2009 after being introduced to it by her boyfriend at the time who owned a local gym.

In 2011 Jessica Eye made her professional debut with an impressive victory over Angela Magana via submission by rear naked choke less than two minutes into their fight at NAAFS: Caged Fury 17 in Cleveland, Ohio – solidifying herself as an exciting fighter right out the gate with one round wins earned early on throughout her career such as wins against Zoila Frausto Gurgel and Munah Holland both under three rounds each. This trend would continue as Jessica went 9-0 before signing with Bellator FC where she quickly established herself as one of their top prospects compiling a 5-1 record while fighting there from 2012-2013 – suffering only 1 loss to former Women’s Featherweight Champion Alexis Davis during this period which took place in 2013 during what would be her final fight for them due to contractual disputes between the promotion and Eye leading up to the bout ultimately deciding that it would be best for all parties involved if they parted ways afterward (which occurred shortly after).

In 2014 Jessica signed with The Ultimate Fighting Championship becoming only the second women from Ohio behind veteran Liz Carmouche joining them alongside other standout fighters such as Ronda Rousey & Gina Carano . Since coming onboard ,Eye has gone 4-7 so far within their ranks but picking up key victories against recently retired Leslie Smith & recent flyweight title challenger Katlyn Chookagian along way while pushing some of divisions biggest names like Valentina Shevchenko & Joanna Jędrzejczyk very closely both fights ending split decisions despite many people feeling like Jessica won those bouts even though they got officially ruled losses unfortunately making these matchups some heartbreaking defeats nonetheless .
