“You Can’t Proud For Missing Weight”-Paul Felder

Paul Felder calls “bulls**t” on Jessica Eye’s recent statement about his missing weight.

Jessica Eye had to take on Cynthia Calvillo at UFC’s fight night at Saskatoon on the 14th of June. Eye ended with the victory at the main event via decision. But she actually failed to make weight the first time round at the weigh-ins on Friday night.

Just before the Fight Night on ESPN 10, Paul Felder made a few statements about Eye missing weight and the comments she made about it on social media.

Jessica Eye, after missing weight, supposedly took to social media and said she was proud of herself for missing weight. To be precise, she said she was “extremely proud” to miss weight by just .25 pounds for her main even fight against Cynthia Calvillo.

Paul Felder calls out Jessica Eye on her shortcomings

In regard to this statement, Paul Felder has a few words of his own. He felt she shouldn’t be proud of the fact that she missed weight by “just” .25 pounds. However small the difference, it shows slack from the fighter’s end. It shows a blaring glitch in the level of discipline going into the fight.

He said, “To say that you’re proud of yourself for missing, and I like Jessica and I think she’s a great fighter, and I’ll probably hear about this later, you can’t be proud for missing weight. That’s BS.”

Eye weighed in at 126.25. She was very clearly struggling to hold herself up. Visibly the weight cut had an impact on her, and she didn’t even pull through all the way. And this wasn’t the first time she has failed to make weight.

Jessica Eye missed her target weight by 5 pounds in her previous bout against Viviane Araujo. Further, she blamed her shortcomings on the fact that she was on her menstrual cycle.

What do you think? Is Paul Felder right for calling out Jessica Eye?
