Jessica Eye (born July 27, 1986) is an American professional mixed martial artist. She currently competes as a bantamweight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Called "one of the best strikers in the women's division" by FoxSports.com, Eye is known for her quick boxing, agility, and defense. She began competing in mixed martial arts (MMA) in 2008, amassing an undefeated amateur record through 2010. Eye found additional success after turning pro, winning each of her fights in Bellator and holding a 10-1 record upon signing with the UFC in 2013.
Outside of MMA, Eye has modeled for Cosmopolitan and been referenced in music by recording artist Machine Gun Kelly. Her fighting ability has received recognition from multiple media outlets and UFC president Dana White.
Jessica Eye was born in Rootstown, Ohio. When she was 16 years old, a drunk driver plowed into Eye and her father Randy while they were walking on the roadside. She suffered a broken back, among other injuries, and was bed-ridden for three months. She credits this incident with creating her drive towards success in mixed martial arts. She graduated in 2005 from Rootstown High School and Maplewood Career Center. She then attended the University of Akron, but never finished her four-year degree.
Eye made her amateur debut in mixed martial arts (MMA) in June 2008. She was undefeated as an amateur, winning five matches in total and becoming the first North American Allied Fight Series (NAAFS) amateur women's champion on December 5, 2009.
In June 2010, Eye made her professional MMA debut with North American Allied Fight Series in her native state of Ohio, defeating Amanda LaVoy by TKO (elbows). She defeated Marissa Caldwell in her second pro bout.
Eye became the Ring of Combat (ROC) 130 lbs women's champion on February 4, 2011, defeating Ashley Nee by TKO (punches).
She suffered her first loss on June 4, 2011 in an NAAFS professional women's flyweight championship bout against Aisling Daly.
Eye returned to NAAFS to face Angela Magana in the main event at NAAFS: Rock N Rumble 6 on August 17, 2012. She defeated Magana by unanimous decision.
