Maycee Barber out of UFC 335 fight with Carli Judice as UFC reportedly plans to rebook it
Her comeback from a knockout loss to Alexa Grasso is on hold, and with no replacement for Judice, the 12 December card in Las Vegas is a fight short.
Maycee Barber's comeback is off. The flyweight is out of her fight with Carli Judice at UFC 335 in Las Vegas on 12 December, Mike Heck of MMA Fighting reported on Saturday. No reason has been given.
Heck said the plan is to rebook the matchup for a later date rather than find Judice a replacement opponent, which leaves UFC 335 a fight short. The card is headlined by Charles Oliveira against Diego Lopes for the 'BMF' lightweight title.
The bout, added to the card in October, was to be Barber's first since a knockout loss to former UFC champion Alexa Grasso earlier this year. The 28-year-old has fought only once a year for the last three years. Judice has won four in a row since losing on her UFC debut.
