In 2013, after making his UFC debut, Eye complained about the lack of suitors, saying that his profession scared men away. She even said 'that she was horny'. The report from the SUPER FIGHTS reported the statement at the time and several Brazilians invaded the brunette's social network.

Among the various statements, written in English and Portuguese, they range from 'Too beautiful' and 'hot' to more daring statements such as: 'There must be blind people. I, here in Brazil, am your fan and I guarantee you that there would be no lack of affection for you, because you may be strong, but you have a feminine side. If someone manages to find this quality of yours, you will both be happy. Kisses, your fan', said one fan.

The thousands of messages at that time made Jéssica write a thank you, but the flood of comments seems to have scared the athlete, who went back on saying that she was looking for a boyfriend.

“Just to address some recent rumors and allegations: I will always care more about your feelings towards my fans, than my fans towards mine. Yes, I'm single, but that doesn't mean an invitation. My career is very important to me, and all of you as my fans. I appreciate the effort, but it's just for me now. Thank you, Happy Halloween,” wrote Eye at the time.
