Video: Mariya Agapova kisses Jessica Eye on the mouth during BKFC faceoff
Two former UFC fighters shared a kiss during BKFC 76 pre-fight faceoffs, though one was not happy. While fighters occasionally get physical during their final opportunity to mean-mug their opponent, it's not usually in the way Mariya Agapova did it Friday when she kissed Jessica Eye on the mouth. Advertisement Eye was not a consenting party in the lip-locking. She appeared caught off guard by the action and vented some frustration toward Agapova moments later. The maneuver could add an additional layer of heat to Saturday's matchup, which takes place on the main card at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.

Jessica "Evil" Eye signs with Conor McGregor's bare-knuckle league
Akron native Jessica Eye announced Tuesday she has signed with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), a promotion co-owned by MMA star Conor McGregor. Flashback: Eye gained fame in the late 2010s when she became one of the top flyweight fighters in the UFC. She earned at title shot in 2019 but was brutally knocked out. Eye lost her final four UFC fights before retiring from MMA. How it works: Bare-knuckle boxing involves fighters punching each other with no padding or gloves — just taped hands and wrists. The big picture: BKFC is not as popular as the UFC, but it's gaining traction. The promotion signed a three-year broadcast partnership with sports streaming service DAZN last September. What they're saying: Eye, 38, said during an appearance on "The Ariel Helwani Show" that signing with BKFC is about the money. "Maybe these guys will take care of me in a way that I wasn't taken care of in my UFC fights and that's financially rewarding."
