The UFC lost its main event at the last minute on Saturday night when Maycee Barber was unable to fight.

Moments before the fight, Barber suffered a medical emergency and was deemed unable to compete against Erin Blanchfield.

Barber’s medical issue comes one day after the flyweight missed weight for the main event by ½ pound when she stepped onto the scale at 126.5 pounds on Friday.

 

Blanchfield was critical of Barber at the post-fight press conference after Barber missed weight and was unable to fight. Blanchfield said Hunter Campbell told her that Barber had a seizure backstage, which was the cause of the fight being canceled.
