Women flyweights Maycee Barber and Erin Blanchfield are set to headline UFC Vegas 107 Fight Night on May 31. Ahead of the bout, Barber dismissed her opponent's skill set as a fighter.
Since her UFC debut, Blanchfield has consistently achieved strong and dominant victories against several notable opponents, her only loss coming against recent title challenger Manon Fiorot.
During the UFC Vegas 107 media day interview, Barber was asked if she considers Blanchfield to be a dangerous fighter. In response, 'The Future' referred to her opponent as "one-dimensional":
"I think Erin's a one-dimensional fighter, and I think I've made that pretty known. She has her grappling and she has her wrestling ability, but aside from that, I don't think she's a great striker. She's not a finisher, and she's not a dangerous fighter."

She added:
"She has some submission wins, but what makes me different from her is I go out there to hurt you, and I go out there to make you bleed. I think that's what's going to be my advantage. I don't care where the fight goes. Whether it's standing or on the ground, I'm going to finish Erin Blanchfield."

"I think that this is a perfect opportunity for me to showcase my skills and to get a finish and get a dominant win and continue my win streak, put it at seven and solidify my spot at the belt... I believe that I should be next in line for the belt with a dominant performance, a dominant finish, and putting my name out there and doing what I need to do." [1:01]
