UFC Vegas 107 Main Event Cancelled After Maycee Barber Seizure

News summary

The highly anticipated UFC women's flyweight main event between Maycee Barber and Erin Blanchfield was abruptly canceled just minutes before the fighters were set to walk out, after Barber reportedly suffered a seizure backstage and was deemed medically unfit to compete. Barber had missed weight by half a pound the day before and had been dealing with ongoing health issues, including a 14-month layoff due to injury and illness. Blanchfield expressed frustration and criticized Barber's professionalism, calling her life a "complete mess" and refusing to entertain a rematch. Barber apologized publicly, denying claims about her personal life and sharing updates on her medical evaluations, emphasizing her priority is to recover and return. The cancellation has disrupted the women's flyweight division, where both fighters are top contenders aiming for a title shot against current champion Valentina Shevchenko. The UFC and fans remain focused on Barber's health and the future matchmaking decisions for Blanchfield.
