UFC star Jessica Eye was visibly shaking and struggling to stand at her weigh-in ahead of tonight's UFC on ESPN 10 main event.

Eye takes on Cynthia Calvillo in the headline bout which was originally intended to be at flyweight.

However, Eye's brutal weight cut still wasn't enough as she weighed in at 126.25lbs - just over the limit.

Eye struggled on the scales and after returning to pose, she told the crowd: "I'm sorry guys I don't think I can stand," as she shook while flexing.

The contest will now be fought at catchweight and the 33-year-old wasn't the only fighter who failed to make weight.

Karl Roberson and Zarrukh Adashev also failed to make weight for their clashes with Marvin Vettori and Tyson Nam respectively.

UFC president Dana White showed little sympathy for the trio however and stated the coronavirus pandemic can't be used as an excuse.

"It's a problem, you can't blame anything right now," the 50-year-old began at the weigh-in.

"If you look at the fights we've put on especially the first one during the pandemic everyone's been making weight. So that's not an excuse.

"If you can't make weight, don't weight don't accept the fight."

Eye took to Instagram to post a message about missing weight and told fans she is 'feeling fine'.

"What's up everyone, I just want to give you guys an update I'm doing fine," 'Evil Eye' began.

"It was freezing in the APEX and I was cold while having no body fat on me right now and I apologise for the point two lbs.

"I mean, my mind is blown it should have peaked before I got on the scales.

"Thank you everyone and I can't wait to perform tomorrow!"
