UFC flyweight Maycee Barber was recently involved in a bizarre interaction with a woman that has caused a flurry online. In a video shared originally on Instagram, a random woman can be seen making threats towards the UFC fighter and her companion who was recording the entire incident.

It is unclear at the time of writing what prompted the whole thing, but it does highlight one impressive fact, Barber’s composure. ‘The Future’ demonstrated a stunning level of restraint throughout the woman’s rants and statements. If instead say someone like Sean Strickland was in the predicament, it possibly could have turned out to be an entirely different scenario altogether!

The video, initially shared on Instagram by fitness athlete Demi Bagby, captures a tense exchange between Maycee Barber, her companion, and the unidentified woman, whose motives remain shrouded in mystery.

In the post, the woman can be seen approaching a truck possibly owned by the person recording the video who tells her, “Please stop touching my truck… Please get off my car…” as the woman leans up against it with both hands. When she repeats the question, it’s unclear what the woman’s response is but she apparently states, “Touch me…”

The video then skips to the woman standing in front of Barber and her companion who are both recording the scene on their phones. The lady raises her hands and states, “Don’t touch me because I can bust you in your face…”

When the camera person starts laughing because threatening a UFC fighter with violence isn’t necessarily the smartest of plays, the lady doubles down by stating, “I’ll beat both your motherf**king asses but I won’t.” This leads both Maycee Barber and her companion to mockingly laugh at the alleged threat and this apparently triggers the woman who tries to imitate their laughter and tells them to, “Get your phones out of my face.”

Ultimately, the incident underscores the unpredictable nature of social interactions and the importance of remaining composed and level-headed in the face of confrontation. And the woman in question should be thanking her stars it wasn’t ‘Tarzan’s car that she was messing with!

Former UFC middleweight champion makes criminal regret his choices

Sean Strickland may be the last person you’d want to be on the wrong side of! In November 2023, the former UFC middleweight champion revealed on social media that he held a man at gunpoint before law enforcement officials arrived to take the individual into custody.

In a post made on Instagram that contained security camera footage of the entire incident, Strickland revealed, “The guy was drunk stomping out a girl, a security guard seen it, he jumped in his car and drove off. Security followed him, hit a curb, completely shredded his tire, drove on the rim for awhile then jumped out and tried to hide at my house. I initially thought he was stealing my car,”

In conclusion, in an alternate scenario, the outcome for the woman who wanted to “beat” Maycee Barber’s a** could have been vastly different if another UFC fighter had been present at the scene!
