Jessica Eye may have a new lease on life in the UFC at flyweight, but it could be a while before she gets her next opportunity in the division.
Eye has been suspended for 180 days pending medical clearance for a potential left foot injury suffered at UFC Fight Night 132 on Saturday. The Strong Style Fight Team representative must provide a negative X-ray before she can compete again. Eye earned a unanimous verdict over Jessica-Rose Clark to improve to 2-0 at 125 pounds after a 1-5 run at bantamweight.
