After winning her UFC debut in October against former Strikeforce women’s bantamweight champion Sarah Kaufman, Jessica Eye has her sights set on a title run. Eye (11-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) will take her next step toward that goal when she meets Alexis Davis (15-5 MMA, 2-0 UFC) in a month at UFC 170 in Las Vegas. But this past Friday at a Q&A prior to the weigh-ins for UFC on FOX 10 in Chicago, Eye was asked about a pair of fighters who aren’t in the UFC and what she makes of their futures in the sport. Unbeaten Holly Holm will fight for Legacy FC’s first women’s bantamweight title in April, but many observers believe she’s on a quick path to the UFC. Former Strikeforce women’s featherweight champion and current Invicta 145-pound titleholder Cristiane Justino , though, won’t be able to fight in the UFC unless she can make 135 pounds, as the UFC currently only offers that division, and later this spring will add the 115-pound class
