"I'm done. I don't think I can stand, guys," Eye said after weighing in. "I'm sorry."
Later on Friday, Eye addressed the weight miss in a video she posted on Instagram.
The 33-year-old also missed weight ahead of her last fight at UFC 245 in December, tipping the scale at 131 pounds. She went on to beat Viviane Araujo via unanimous decision.
Eye formerly competed in the bantamweight division and decided to move up to 125 pounds in 2018 after losing four straight bouts. "Evil" is 4-1 as a flyweight, with her lone loss coming in a title fight against Valentina Shevchenko last year.
Calvillo successfully made weight at 126 pounds.
