Saturday’s UFC Fight Night main event took a bizarre turn when the fight was canceled as cage walks were about to start. Maycee Barber was forced to pull out of the fight at the absolute last minute, leaving opponent Erin Blanchfield without an opponent for the Las Vegas headliner.
On the broadcast for the event, it was announced that Barber was no longer medically cleared to compete after the video package had played to hype up the main event.
The news came one day after Barber had missed weight for the fight by half of a pound, appearing in poor shape while stepping on the scale.
Blanchfield addressed the situation at the press conference after the event and did not hold back on Barber despite reports that Barber had suffered a seizure shortly before attempting to make her walk to the Octagon.
“I feel like I’m still pretty in disbelief right now,” Blanchfield said. “I feel like I was in disbelief yesterday when she missed weight because we knew about this fight since January. You could have been 50 pounds overweight and still made weight. She missed weight and gets to Saturday and the locker room, I’m ready to go and she’s supposed to be ready to go. Supposedly, she has all these health issues when we’re supposed to fight. I think it’s pretty unprofessional. I wouldn’t want to fight her again. … I was told she had a seizure in the locker room, that’s what I was told.
“… When she missed weight yesterday, I didn’t care, I was going to take her money. I was going to take her win money too.”
Blanchfield’s message to Barber was clear, telling her planned opponent that it’s time to abandon the women’s flyweight division in no uncertain terms.
“She needs to look at another division,” Blanchfield said. “She needs to fix her life. She needs to fix herself. I think she’s a mess in every aspect of her entire life.”

MacIntyre: Everything ‘coming together’ for ‘incredible’ Canada defence
Bob MacIntyre believes his game is heading back in a positive direction ahead of his title defence in the RBC Canadian Open at TPC Toronto, live on Sky Sports. MacIntyre claimed his maiden PGA Tour title with a hard-fought one-shot victory in last year's event, then held at Hamilton Golf and Country Club, before winning the Genesis Scottish Open a month later. The Scot moved back inside the world's top 15 with a top-10 finish at The Players in March but struggled during the first two majors of the year, surprisingly missing the cut at The Masters before failing to contend at the PGA Championship.

Opora české volejbalové reprezentace Orvošová přestoupila do tureckého velkoklubu
Orvošová patří v posledních letech k oporám české reprezentace, ale na prvním turnaji Ligy národů s týmem v Riu de Janeiro není, protože doléčuje rameno. Po reprezentační sezoně se může těšit na atraktivní destinaci. „Ahoj, jsem Gabriela Orvošová a připojím se příští rok k rodině VakifBanku. Nemůžu se dočkat, až se potkáme v hale,“ řekla v klubovém videu.VakifBank je aktuálním tureckým šampionem. V uplynulém ročníku Ligy mistryň skončil čtvrtý. Elitní evropskou pohárovou soutěž istanbulský klub od roku 2011 šestkrát vyhrál, naposledy předloni.
Karabec o přestupu ze Sparty: Moc času už není. V Hamburku bych rád pokračoval
Byl na vás obrovský tlak. Stihl jste už zpracovat to šílenství ohledně postupu Hamburku?Viděli to asi všichni. Bylo to opravdu moc hezké a nesmírně se nám ulevilo. Byl na nás obrovský tlak a oslavy tomu odpovídaly. Já i moje rodina na to budeme vzpomínat celý život.Byly náročné oslavy?To ano. Na druhou stranu ale nebyly tak dlouhé jako se Spartou. Dostali jsme od klubu výlet do Španělska, kde jsme byli čtyři dny.Se Spartou jste tedy slavil víc?Na Letné to bylo delší. V Hamburku to však byly hezčí oslavy. Slavilo daleko více lidí a pro mě to bylo příjemnější i v tom, že jsem měl daleko větší roli.Můžou vůbec hráči HSV do konkurenční čtvrti St. Pauli, která je známá nočním životem?(zasměje se) Nikdo tam nebyl, co tak vím. V Hamburku je dané, že se tam nechodí. Po tom vítězném zápase jsme akorát měli kousek odtamtud pronajatý noční klub, ale […]
