UFC 276 saw Maycee Barber defeats Jessica Eye in Eye’s last fight.

Maycee Barber extended her win streak at UFC 276, grinding out a close victory over Jessica Eye, in what would end up being Eye’s last fight in MMA. Barber and Eye spent most of the fight in the clinch against the cage and while Eye was able to get Barber on the ground during the bout, it was the dirty boxing skills of Barber and some well-placed elbows that gave her the unanimous decision victory.

While Barber did win, her aggressive streak and pop still aren’t close to where they were at for her prior to her torn ACL. She’s still a good fighter, but one has to wonder if she’s going to be fighting deep into fights now, or if she can find her way back to finishing opponents.

Jessica Eye calls it a career at UFC 276

Eye walks away from the UFC and MMA with a record of 15-11 and going just 5-10 over her last 15. Stomach issues made it hard for her to not only take damage to the body but also caused her problems cutting weight. Now at 35 years old, riding a losing streak of four fights and missing a gallbladder, Eye has chosen to call it a career.

UFC 276: Israel Adesanya vs. Jared Cannonier took place on Saturday, July 2, 2022, live from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV. Follow along with FanSided MMA, who is on-site, for all your news and highlights.
