LAS VEGAS – Maycee Barber’s progression continued Saturday at UFC 276, and she sent a former title challenger into retirement, to boot.
Barber (11-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) took a unanimous decision from Jessica Eye (15-11 MMA, 5-10 UFC), who arguably was one of her most accomplished opponents to date. The win was Barber’s third straight after back-to-back losses.
Now the women’s flyweight said her current contract is up, and she wants to have a major conversation with UFC president Dana White to work out a new deal on what she hopes is a push for a title shot.
