MMA ODDS AND ENDS FOR TUESDAY: JESSICA EYE NEXT FOR VALENTINA SHEVCHENKO

We only watched the UFC guys’s flyweight title defended by Henry Cejudo together with his TKO win over TJ Dillashaw within last weekend in UFC on ESPN+ 1, and now it loooks like the women’s flyweight title is going to be defended soon, too.
Based on UFC president Dana White, who spoke to reporters after the UFC’s debut event on ESPN in Brooklyn, New York, the world’s top MMA organization is set to give Jessica Eye the next title shot 125lbs. She’ll take on UFC women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko for the name later this season, though White did not say when the belt could be defended. Together with the UFC running three or four cards a month until June, the promotion had a lot of holes to fill and Shevchenko vs. Eye makes sense as a main event for a Fight Night card on ESPN+, or maybe even as a co-main occasion for a pay-per-view.
White told reporters concerning Eye getting another title shot after somebody asked him when Joanne Calderwood — who predicted Eye out after her decision win over Ariane Lipski — was in line to fight for the title. There were rumors Eye was going to be following for Shevchenko since they both fought on precisely the same UFC 231 card, and now we know that’s really the case.
Eye (14-6, 1 NC) has saved her career by making the movement down to flyweight. After fighting a 1-5, 1 NC record for a bantamweight, Eye is currently 3-0 in 125lbs. She’s conquered Kalindra Faria, Jessica-Rose Clark and Katlyn Chookagian in her last three outings so as to get the title shot at the UFC’s new division. The fact she’s gone the distance in nine of her 10 UFC struggles is about going up from a finisher such as Shevchenko who probably needs to be stopped so as to conquer, but Eye has definitely looked enhanced at flyweight along with her getting another title shot makes sense.
Shevchenko (16-3) had a 4-2 record as a bantamweight from the UFC, but her two losses came from champion Amanda Nunes and she needed to make a move down in weight in order to find another title shot. Moving down to 125lbs has been demonstrated to be a great move for her as she destroyed Priscila Cachoeira in her UFC flyweight introduction to find a title shot, then beat Joanna Jedrzejczyk at UFC 231 to maintain the vacant belt. Outside of the Nunes fights, Shevchenko has appeared unstoppable in the Octagon, and it is difficult to see anybody at 125lbs giving her much of a fight when she is so much beyond everybody in the branch as far as ability goes.
Obviously this struggle is not 100 percent official yet, but it seems likely to be formally announced shortly, and once it does the oddsmakers shouldn’t have much trouble lining the struggle. I’m fully expecting Shevchenko for a massive favorite however again, opening at least around -500 and being steamed even greater. Shevchenko always gets a tremendous amount of aid from bettors while Eye traditionally doesnt get much of some, so this is not a hard struggle to line. As good as Eye has appeared in her recent couple of fights since dropping down from bantamweight, it’s difficult to see her being the fighter to shoot Shevchenko’s belt.
