When Maycee Barber detailed her health issues

A few months ago, Maycee Barber revealed her health issues and announced her plans to return to the octagon against Erin Blanchfield. During an interaction with Morning Kombat, she said:

"Everything's going great now. It has been a long journey. I was so bummed [for being forced out of the Namajunas bout]. It would have been my first main event...I was so devastated when I was told I wouldn't be fighting on the card but you know, health is more important."

She added:

"I was very devastated but I have made a lot of progress coming forward and I can't wait to be back. I was just messaging with Mick [Maynard] and Hunter [Campbell] called me as well. I'm hoping for April. I know it's a little ways out but that's the timeline I was given. Originally I thought it would be July/August next year but it looks like it's gonna be April."
