NEED TO KNOW
- At BKFC 76 faceoff, Agapova surprised Eye with a non-consensual kiss
- Eye demanded a public apology and insisted on a “mouthguard” special rule
- The tactic adds spice ahead of Saturday’s main‑card matchup
FORT WORTH, TX – In a moment that had everyone double‑taking more than Eye’s final stare‑down, Mariya Agapova planted an unsolicited kiss on Jessica Eye’s lips at Friday’s BKFC 76 ceremonial weigh‑in.
It wasn’t part of her camp’s new “up‑close intimidation” strategy. Instead, it looked like a lip‑smacked misfire that earned her more boos than cheers—right before someone tossed a kiss‑shaped ice cube at the canvas.
Heat levels spike
Eye immediately recoiled, looking like she’d just tasted a lemon‑lime. She snarled back: “Do that again, and you’ll need a mouthguard the rest of your life.”
She later told reporters she expects Agapova to appear at the ring on Saturday with a “public apology and some lip protection.” Eye joked she might bring ChapStick just in case.
Eye for detail?
Trainers whisper Eye’s entire camp is drawing up a “finger‑jam” contingency plan for weigh‑ins—so no unexpected kisses sneak in. Meanwhile, Agapova’s team reportedly issued a statement reading “Oops?” in multiple languages.
Fisticuffs not smooches
Expect the ring to return to fisticuffs soon. But that faceoff lip lock gave the press something far juicier: fight night might deliver a knockout, or at least a very awkward apology tour.
Either way, fans won’t just be watching fists—they’ll be on “lip watch.”
