Jessica Eye
An American professional mixed martial artist and the former flyweight title contender, Jessica Eye was all set to fight her next battle with Andrea Lee on the UFC Fight Night card in Las Vegas on November 13 but Jessica Lee revealed that she was admitted to the hospital after falling ill last weekend.
Jessica Eye now will have to wait until later to participate in the next game. The eye was originally scheduled to participate in a fighting match on Saturday, but her symptoms deteriorated and she was forced to seek help. This eventually led to her being admitted to the hospital for additional examinations, which led Eye to wish to stay there while the doctor was monitoring her for the next few days.
Eye expressed on Instagram, “I thought I was dealing with an allergic reaction to fish eggs that I didn’t notice on my sushi role until it was too late. Extremely allergic to eggs. Thursday night is when the fever started. So I followed protocol for when I am exposed to a food allergy. Thursday was rough but woke up on Friday feeling OK but brain fog, which is usually symptom after I have an allergy attack or exposure to foods I’m allergic to.”
She added, “Friday was a normal day and I was ready for this weekend’s event but felt like adrenaline was keeping me on my feet. However, Friday night the fever returned. At this point, I had a negative COVID so I brushed it off. I was like f*ck fish eggs.”
“I already lost my gallbladder, I don’t plan to lose anymore” Jessica Eye is planning to focus on health and give herself some time to heal
Jessica Eye lost against Jennifer Maia with a unanimous decision on July 10, 2021, since then she was preparing herself for the next battle with Andrea Lee but now she will have to wait until her recovery. Eye said that she will now focus on her health, which means she may not be able to look like November 13. So far, the UFC has not issued any official statements about the Eye’s battle or Lee’s plans on the upcoming November 13th card.
Currently, Eye just wants to maintain a positive attitude because she is dealing with this latest health issue that prevents her from participating in the competition. Eye added, “My team and I have decided to pop in this fight and focus on my health. There has been struggling for a year and it’s my top priority. I already lost my gallbladder. I don’t plan to lose anymore. Please send me all the good vibes,” Eye wrote. “I hope to update you guys as soon as I am out of the hospital and fully back to Jess mode.”
