According to her head coach, Cody Donovan, Barber wanted to carry on with her flyweight bout against Erin Blanchfield this past Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. However, the fight was canceled minutes before it was supposed to happen, something rarely seen before in the UFC, as her team didn't see her fit to compete that night.

Erin Blanchfield pulled no punches with her feelings towards Maycee Barber after their main event fight at UFC Vegas 107 was cancelled just seconds before they were scheduled to walk to the octagon. The unfortunate turn of events happened in real time as a video package finished playing inside the UFC APEX that was supposed to lead directly to the walkouts but instead the broadcast team had to announce that Barber was not medically cleared to compete.

After the UFC Vegas 107 cancelation, Blanchfield laid into Barber, calling her ‘super unprofessional’ after a medical scare forced her out of their scheduled headliner. Fans were divided on Blanchfield’s harsh response, with some questioning how she could scold Barber after she was hospitalized.
