UFC Vegas 107's main event featuring Erin Blanchfield was abruptly canceled just minutes before the fight due to her opponent Maycee Barber experiencing severe medical issues. Blanchfield described her disbelief upon receiving the news from UFC’s Hunter Campbell, noting that she felt ready and had completed her warm-up. Barber had also missed weight, which further led Blanchfield to believe the fight would proceed. This incident marks Barber's second consecutive withdrawal from a fight due to health concerns, raising questions about her fight readiness.
Hunter came in and was saying she was having a seizure and having medical issues and she wouldn't be able to fight. I knew once I saw him it wasn't something good because he was being real serious.
I definitely thought we were in the clear. I think it's pretty rare fight day that somebody pulls out.
