Erin Blanchfield recently reflected on the fallout of her canceled UFC Vegas 107 main event bout against Maycee Barber last Saturday and how the promotion handled the situation.
Blanchfield and Barber were set to clash, with the UFC's social media already posting that the main event was moments away. However, before both preparing to make their walkouts, the bout was scrapped after 'The Future' had a medical emergency that made her unable to compete.
Barber has since released a statement apologizing to the UFC and Blanchfield for the bout falling through at the last minute and promised to get to the bottom of her medical issues.

"Hunter [Campbell] came into the room and told me that... I'll be paid everything. My show and win... I believe I still get 20% of her show money cause she did show... It's bittersweet because at least I was able to get paid, so I'll still be able to take care of myself in that sense. But, I fight because I do really love it. It is a job and getting paid is important, but it is a passion job for me, so it's still super deflating.
