UFC combatant experiences unusual spasms seconds prior to headline bout
Get the latest scoop on MMA fighter Maycee Barber's recent health scare! The UFC world was left stunned as a mysterious condition forced the cancellation of the main event at UFC Vegas 107.
In a dramatic turn of events, fighter Maycee Barber was a no-show at the main event after being hit by "health issues" just moments before her ring walk. It soon emerged that she had supposedly suffered a "seizure," according to her opponent, Erin Blanchfield. The UFC itself has remained tight-lipped about the details surrounding Barber's medical emergency.
The 27-year-old American fighter, who was attempting a comeback after a 14-month injury break, missed the weight limit the previous day and paid a heavy price by forfeiting 20% of her purse. However, she still appeared alarmingly underweight on the scale.
Erin Blanchfield, the intended opponent, was undoubtedly disappointed and voiced her frustration. "I'm still in shock," Blanchfield admitted. "She's been aware of this fight since early January and suddenly starts having health issues just when the fight is about to happen. That's just nuts!"
Blanchfield hasclaimed she has no intention of facing Barber in future matches. Up until this situation, both fighters were situated in the top 10 of their respective weight classes, with the winner standing a chance for a title shot.
The consequences of drastic weight loss procedures are worrisome and far from uncommon in the MMA world. Such hasty weight cuts can result in health issues that affect vital organs like kidneys, leading to kidney failure, brain damage, and even collapse.
Be warned, folks - try not to imitate the extreme tricks that MMA fighters employ for weight loss!
