Maycee Barber pulls out at last moment, Erin Blanchfield opponentless

It is unclear as of now why Barber was not able to make the walk. She was reportedly at the doors to begin her walk and turned back.

“I think that Erin said that because Erin has nothing else to say. I don’t think that Erin really has any kind of, like…I don’t really know what she could say that’s like that bad. I’ve tried to rack my brain and think about, oh what else can she say? She can’t say anything. I guess that’s only concern is that I might not make it to the fight, which doesn’t make a lot of sense.”
Maycee Barber did not make it to the cage.

Not the best on paper, UFC Vegas 107’s ending did not help the card’s viewability. Mateusz Gamrot stormed to a dominant victory over L’udovit Klein with over six minutes of control time.
Ramiz Brahimaj scored a huge guillotine over Billy Ray Goff. Light heavyweight veteran Dustin Jacoby turned away Brazilian contender Bruno Lopez with a barrage of punches and ended in a first round knockout. Ketlen Vieira dominated Macy Chassion and Zach Reese took a tepid, if not boring, decision over Dusko Todorovic.
Your other winners were Allan Nascimento, Jordan Leavitt, Bolaji Oki, and Alice Ardelean.
