UFC Vegas 107 Main Event Canceled Due to Maycee Barber Medical Issue

News summary

The UFC Vegas 107 event experienced significant disruptions, most notably the last-minute cancellation of the women's flyweight main event between Erin Blanchfield and Maycee Barber. Barber, who had already missed weight by half a pound, was medically disqualified moments before the fight due to a seizure, as revealed by UFC Executive Hunter Campbell and confirmed during the broadcast, leading to the bout being scrapped. Blanchfield expressed her disappointment and indicated reluctance to accept a rescheduled fight with Barber. Additionally, the event saw the cancellation of Andreas Gustafsson's UFC debut fight after his opponent, Trevin Giles, suffered a head injury during a weight cut. In a separate UFC-related development, a meet-and-greet event for Alex Pereira in Germany was abruptly canceled due to overwhelming fan turnout, which also delayed any official announcement regarding his potential fight with light heavyweight champion Magomed Ankalaev. These issues collectively contributed to a challenging night for the UFC, highlighting concerns over fighter health and event management.
