Jessica Eye Wins BKFC Debut After Agapova Kisses Opponent

At the BKFC 76 weigh-ins in Texas, former UFC fighters Mariya Agapova and Jessica Eye made headlines when Agapova unexpectedly kissed Eye on the lips during their face-off, an act that Eye immediately rejected and publicly condemned as disrespectful. The incident sparked widespread online reactions, with some fans labeling the kiss 'sexual harassment' and calling for legal action, while Agapova dismissed it as a reaction to Eye coming too close. Both fighters, who have struggled with recent losing streaks, faced off again in the bare-knuckle bout where Eye secured a unanimous decision victory after five intense rounds, including a controversial knockdown ruling against Agapova. Agapova, known as 'Money Mashka,' has a background in MMA with a notable early career and a transition from the UFC to BKFC, while Eye is a former UFC flyweight title contender making her BKFC debut. The bare-knuckle format continues to attract former UFC fighters and boxing professionals, with the sport gaining traction and attention through events like BKFC 76, which also featured other ex-UFC competitors. The kiss incident added an unexpected layer of drama to the event, highlighting the high tensions and personal dynamics between fighters transitioning to bare-knuckle boxing.
