Maycee Barber has damaged her silence following her late withdrawal from the UFC Vegas 107 primary occasion.
Barber was slated to face Erin Blanchfield in Saturday’s Battle Evening headliner on the UFC APEX. The promo video for the struggle completed airing, which might usually result in the primary fighter strolling to the octagon. As a substitute, commentators Brendan Fitzgerald, Daniel Cormier and Laura Sanko revealed that Barber was about to make her stroll earlier than turning round and heading again to the locker room space.
After a business break, Fitzgerald introduced {that a} late “medical concern” for Barber scratched her from the struggle altogether — resulting in some harsh phrases from Blanchfield, saying Barber is “an entire mess in each facet of her complete life.”
On Sunday, Barber launched an announcement on Instagram, though specifics weren’t given as to why she wasn’t medically cleared to compete, together with a little bit of a response to Blanchfield.
“Not what I had deliberate for a Sunday put up,” Barber wrote. “Thanks to everybody for the prayers and help. I owe an apology to UFC, [Mick Maynard, Dana White, Sean Shelby, and Erin Blanchfield].
“P.S.: My life shouldn’t be messy that is only a dangerous hand. We are going to resolve all of it and be again.”
The “messy” remark is in direct response to Blanchfield’s criticism geared toward Barber after the struggle was cancelled when she mentioned the 27-year-old flyweight was a “full mess in each facet of her complete life.”
Barber was scheduled to make her first look in 14 months following well being points that had her hospitalized for a number of days following her UFC 299 win over Katlyn Cerminara. “The Future” advised MMA Preventing that she wasn’t given any precise solutions from medical doctors with regard to what the problems have been.
