Maycee Barber breaks the Vegas curse

Barber (9-2) desperately needed a win here after her back-to-back losses. First, she lost to Roxanne Modafferi at UFC 246 via unanimous decision. Next up, she lost to Alexa Grasso at UFC 258 again via split decision. Other than the type of losses, one more thing was common in both cases. Vegas.

Anyone who losses consecutive fights at a certain place may develop an aversion to that place. But Maycee not only broke her brief losing spree but also broke her Vegas curse.

In the interview, ‘The Future’ expressed her opinion on the same. “I feel it’s great. But it’s something I expected to come,” Maycee said her victory. “Come here back to Vegas and get (the win), you know. The last two times I was in Vegas, I did not get my hand raised. There is no way Vegas is (an) unlucky place for me.”
