Five Questions with Maycee Barber

Confident. Young. Sharp. Prospect.

“Shy” is not something associated with “The Future.”

An impressive second-round TKO win over Hannah Cifers in her UFC debut showed just how much power and technical skill Barber already has at 20 years old, but naturally, she is far from a finished product.

After initially missing the strawweight limit, Barber was granted an extra hour and made the 116-pound limit. Even before she stepped on the scale in Denver, she planned to move to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in order to revamp her nutrition. On top of that, she visited the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas.
