Erin Blanchfield will fight Maycee Barber in the main event of UFC Battle Night in Las Vegas over the weekend, but the round was cancelled before the bell rang.
The barber who competed in the women's fly level competition has not fought since March 2024 because the disease she said has caused nearly two weeks of hospitalization. According to ESPN, the barber missed half of her weight on Friday and was ready to give up 20% of her wallet.

On Saturday night, something happened another strange twist.
UFC chief business officer Hunter Campbell told her hairdresser that she suffered a seizure before she was ready to walk to the octagon, Blanchfield said at a nighttime press conference after the UFC. ESPN Broadcasting Corporation said the barber suffered medical problems.
"I think I still can't believe it right now," Blanchfield added via MMA Junkie. "I thought I was incredible yesterday because she missed the weight because we knew the fight since January. You may have been overweight by 50 pounds, but still missed the weight.
"So, she missed the weight and arrived on Saturday. She got to the locker room. I was ready. She should be ready to go. It is said that now we should have had all these health issues correctly when we should be fighting. I think it's crazy. I think it's unprofessional. I don't want to fight her anymore."

The barber posted and reshared the video on her Instagram page to bring her back to the octagon. But she didn't solve any so-called medical problems on social media.
Fox News Digital and UFC reach out to comment.
Blanchefield was asked if she had any advice for the barber.
"I don't know, she needs to look at another department," she said. "She needs to fix her life. She just needs to fix herself. I think every aspect of her life is a mess."
