Maycee Barber missed weight for her UFC Vegas 107 main event against fellow flyweight contender, Erin Blanchfield. But that didn’t stop “The Future” from trying to bully “Cold Blooded” during the official staredowns earlier today in “Sin City.”
Fans were not impressed.
Probably because Barber talked all kinds of trash ahead of their Sat. night (May 31) showdown inside APEX in Las Vegas, slamming Blanchfield for her “terrible” fighting style. Those comments came after “Cold Blooded” suggested Barber might not make it to the fight.
She almost didn’t.
Some of the comments from social media:
Barber acting like this after missing weight. Can’t wait for Blanchfield to humble her.
Acting hard and couldn’t even make weight. Hope she gets choked to sleep.
Barber talked all that stuff and missed weight and looks horrible.
Idk how you talk all that sh*t and act like this when you can’t do your job and make weight, what a bum.
Maycee can’t even make weight for the biggest fight of her career and now wants to kiss Erin.
Barber gonna school her.
Ouch.
“I believe I should be next in line for the belt with a dominant performance, a dominant finish and putting my name out there and doing what I need to do,” Barber said during the UFC Vegas 107 media day. “My goal in every performance is for people to want — not just this one, but every single one — I want them to be like, ‘damn, she really goes out there and she goes for a finish. She goes out here to hurt these girls.’ I think that’s what makes me dangerous. “I don’t just want to go out there and fight these girls and win. I don’t want just a decision win. I want to go out there and hurt these girls and make sure that they know that when they get done with a fight with me they never want to fight me again.”
