Title: Macy Barber's UFC Vegas 107 Absence: A Sudden Seizure Stalls Her Title Pursuit
The Odd Turn of Events at UFC Vegas 107Macy “The Future” Barber, the ass-kicking flyweight contender, was all set to battle it out with Erin Blanchfield in the main event at UFC Vegas 107. But things took an unexpected turn when, just moments before her entrance, commentators announced that Barber had scampered back to the locker room.
This bombshell had Blanchfield fired up, accusing Barber of having "complete chaos in all aspects of life." The previous day, Barber had shared a cryptic message on her social media, indicating she had been disqualified from the fight but refraining from revealing the reasons. Here's what she had to say:
"Not how I planned my Sunday post. Thanks for the prayers and support. I'm sorry to UFC, Mike Menaud, Dana White, Sean Shelby, and Erin Blanchfield.
"P.S.: My life is not in chaos, it's just an unfortunate turn of events. We'll sort it out and come back.""
But things aren't as simple as they seem...
Hidden Undercurrents: A Healthy Dose of UncertaintyBarber was supposed to make a comeback after a lengthy time away due to some serious health issues, landing her a spell in the hospital post her victory against Katlyn Chookagian last year. Up until now, doctors couldn't find a clear cause for her condition.
To make matters worse, Barber picked up pneumonia, strep throat, and a staph infection after the fight, leading to a nine-day hospital stint. To add more fuel to the fire, her body didn't respond well to a prescribed painkiller, causing more complications. And then, there was that solid win in 2024, but her energy levels didn’t fully recover, adding another obstacle to her health obstacle course[1][2].
The recent seizure incident gives us a hint that Macy's health woes might not be a thing of the past.
