Jessica Eye (11-3 MMA, 1-2 UFC) recently talked about her upcoming fight with Julianna Pena (6-2 MMA, 2-0 UFC) at UFC 192, and gave some insight on her devastating loss to Miesha Tate at UFC on FOX 16.
“I had six fights in 14 months, and that was my most successful career. I don’t like having those long layoffs. I hate it. I can understand when you’re the champion, but I’m chomping at the bit to come back.”
In her last five bouts, Eye’s record is 2-2-1. On her loss to Tate, she said:
“I did this really arrogant thing, and I smiled at her and dropped my hands, and that’s when she lunged in and threw the hardest shot she’s ever going to throw in her life. But perfect, right on the money. Good for her. She hit the prize. It didn’t even rock me. I never even blinked. I remember seeing her the whole time. I remember thinking, ‘Oh, sh-t, I’m on the ground.’”
UFC 192 takes place this Saturday, October 3rd, 2015 at Houston’s Toyota Center.
