Joanne Calderwood to Meet Jessica Eye at UFC Event on Jan. 23

A women’s flyweight clash pitting Joanne
Calderwood
against Jessica Eye
is on tap for an Ultimate Fighting Championship event on Jan.
23.

MMA
DNA
was first to report the matchup. The card, which is
expected to be UFC 257, doesn’t have an official location or venue
but is rumored to be headlined by Conor
McGregor
vs. Dustin
Poirier
.

Calderwood was in position for a title shot but elected not to wait
on Valentina
Shevchenko
to heal after their initial booking was canceled.
That cost the Scottish veteran, as she was submitted by Jennifer
Maia
in the opening round at UFC Fight Night 173, allowing Maia
to earn No. 1 contender’s status.

A former title challenger, Eye is coming off a loss to Cynthia
Calvillo
in the UFC on ESPN 10 headliner on June 13. After a
3-0 stretch in 2018, the Ohioan has lost two of her last three
Octagon appearances.
