The UFC on ESPN 68 headliner was struck by disaster moments before it was scheduled to unfold Saturday when Maycee Barber suffered a medical emergency that led to the cancellation of her bout with Erin Blanchfield.
Blanchfield (13-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) claimed Barber (13-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) had a seizure moments before walking to the octagon at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, and shortly thereafter the women’s flyweight contest was called off.
It was an unprecedented situation that unfolded, and the MMA community reacted with shock, mock, and some concern.
