Boxing sensation Ryan Garcia suffered his first loss last weekend against knockout artist and former three-division champion Gervonta Davis. ‘Tank’ landed a brutal body shot in the seventh round of the fight that saw ‘The Flash KingRy’ go down as the referee called an end to the fight. However, a former UFC flyweight star, Jessica Eye, took a shot at Garcia and the sport of boxing in a social media post.

Jessica Eye was an active martial arts competitor from 2008 to 2012. She had a total of sixteen fights in Dana White‘s promotion and managed to win only five fights. She retired from the UFC after suffering a fourth consecutive loss against Maycee Barber at UFC 276. Eye even claimed that she wanted to be the female version of The Undertaker in her post-UFC career.

But Jessica Eye wasn’t impressed with ‘The Flash KingRy’ and took a jibe at him and the sport of boxing as a whole to indicate that boxers are softer than UFC or MMA fighters. She captioned the post: “Come on with the haters that misconstrue the post.”
