Jessica Eye is back again, and this time to BKFC! The former UFC flyweight title challenger announced her comeback happily on The Ariel Helwani Show, and guess who responded? Yes, it was part-owner of BKFC and former dual-weight UFC champ Conor McGregor. “Evil” Eye had a good run in the UFC with a 15-11 MMA record. Once a title contender, she competed for the 125-pound title against Valentina Shevchenko at UFC 238 but lost the battle. Moreover, a string of four losses in a row led to her retiring from UFC.
However, the 38-year-old’s new journey was supported by ‘Mystic Mac,’ who posted on X and stated: “She is in phenomenal physical condition! The best I’ve ever seen her, and I have shared many a card with her over the years. Look at her big bare fists and magnificent musculature! We are very happy to have “Evil” Eye at BKFC! We have high hopes for her and she will be well looked after!”

This post appeared under the original upload by Ariel Helwani, where he shared a snippet from his long interview with Eye. In the interview, Eye revealed the motivation behind her comeback, saying:
“After a long time of negotiation, I am signing with Bareknuckle Fighting Championship. I started out boxing… They finally came financially correct and motivated me enough to be like, you know what? Maybe these guys will take care of me in a way that I wasn’t taken care of in my UFC fights, and that’s financially rewarding.”
