Maycee Barber Puts Paige VanZant on Notice After Smashing Gillian Robertson

Maycee Barber just made a statement in TD Garden Arena, Boston. The undefeated flyweight took on Gillian Robertson in the main card of UFC Boston. Going into the fight she was a favorite to get the job done and rightfully so.

The Karate black belt, Maycee Barber started strong in the first round and tried to land some takedown on Gillian Robertson. However, Robertson was able to defend the takedowns and kept the fight on the feet. Yet it was not enough to stop Barber her 4th UFC victory as she knocked out Gillian Robertson in the first round.

Barber knew she had Robertson hurt after a good combination and she showed finishing instinct as she follows up to get the job done quickly. She landed a powerful elbow and followed it up with a left hook and threw a couple of more strikes before the referee stopped the fight 3 minutes 4 seconds into the round.

After the win, Barber called out UFC flyweight, Paige Van Zant as both of them already have a rivalry between them. “Paige Van Zant I am giving you a call. Will you answer or not?”

A win for Maycee Barber makes the women’s flyweight division more exciting than it has been for a meaningful period. The flyweight champion, Valentina Shevchenko has been destroying every title contender quite easily. Maycee Barber might be the solution to the scarcity of an exciting and promising title contender in the women’s flyweight division.

However, Maycee Barber needs to get a few more wins under her resume before moving up to challenge the champion, Valentina Shevchenko for the undisputed UFC title. 

With the knockout over Gillian Robertson, Maycee Barber has now a record of 8 wins and 0 losses in her MMA career with four UFC wins.
