After a brief scuffle on Twitter, former UFC flyweight title challenger Jessica Eye stated that she has no interest in fighting Joanne Calderwood. However, she hasn’t let go of her ill-feelings towards Calderwood and Lauren Murphy.

Last Saturday, Eye suffered her eight professional loss at the hands of Cynthia Calvillo. The Mexican-American dominated Eye throughout the fight. She took her down and imposed her will. Nevertheless, the real drama occurred during the weigh-ins.

During the post-fight press conference, Calvillo claimed that Eye held the towel during the weigh-in. She also revealed that Eye’s coach had texted her manager stating that the American will miss weight by 3.5 lbs. But Eye was just 0.25 lbs over the limit.

“Between Lauren Murphy and ‘Jojo’ – I just don’t get them,” Eye said. “They want to act like these sweet women, but in all reality they’re ugly-souled. They talk about people, they go to Twitter to recruit people.

“They’re bullies. That’s like real-life bullying. As much as they want to sit back and say, ‘I’m so nice, I’m so sweet,’ you’re real-life bullies. That’s exactly what a bully is in definition.”
