A matchup of former flyweight title challengers is in the works for
an Ultimate Fighting Championship event on July 10.
According to
MMAFighting.com, Jennifer
Maia will square off against Jessica Eye
at the UFC Fight Night card, which does not have an official
headliner or location.
Maia last appeared at UFC 255, where she dropped a five-round
verdict to Valentina
Shevchenko in a 125-pound title bout on Nov. 21. The former
Invicta FC title holder is 3-3 in UFC competition, with victories
over Joanne
Calderwood, Roxanne
Modafferi and Alexis
Davis to her credit.
Eye, who was knocked out by a Shevchenko head kick at UFC 238, has
lost three of her last four Octagon appearances overall. Most
recently, the Ohio native suffered a unanimous decision defeat to
Joanne
Calderwood at UFC 257 on Jan. 23.
