Fight fans were left stunned at UFC Vegas 107 when the highly anticipated main event between Erin Blanchfield and Maycee Barber was abruptly canceled just moments before the fighters were set to enter the Octagon. The cancellation came after Barber suffered a medical emergency in her locker room during warmups, leading officials to pull her from the bout for safety reasons.
Barber, who had missed weight by half a pound the day before, experienced what was described by some—including Blanchfield—as a seizure or convulsions, though Barber later clarified that the exact nature of the episode remains undetermined and more medical tests are needed She was hospitalized following the incident and discharged two days later, expressing gratitude for the support and vowing to seek answers about her health.
Blanchfield, visibly frustrated, criticized Barber for missing weight and questioned her professionalism, stating she has no interest in rescheduling the fight The incident marks the second time Barber has been forced out of a high-profile bout due to health concerns, casting uncertainty over her immediate fighting future.
Meanwhile, the co-main event saw Mateusz Gamrot secure a unanimous decision victory, but the night will be remembered for the dramatic and unsettling turn of events that left fans and fighters searching for answers about what really happened to Maycee Barber.
