Maycee Barber’s highly anticipated women’s flyweight bout against Erin Blanchfield was called off just moments before the fight at UFC on ESPN 68. The reason for the cancellation? A medical emergency that left Barber with a seizure, according to reports.
Blanchfield, who had been undefeated in seven years of competition, took to Twitter to share her side of the story, stating that Barber’s health was “not good” and that she was worried about her opponent’s well-being. The reaction from the MMA community was mixed, with some expressing shock and concern for Barber’s health, while others were critical of Blanchfield’s handling of the situation.
The sudden cancellation has left fans and fighters alike wondering what could have been. With Barber pulling out, the UFC on ESPN 68 card is now looking a bit bare, but fans can rest assured that the organization will find another matchup to fill the void.
