Maycee Barber plans to finish Erin Blanchfield, questions her skillset ahead of UFC Vegas 107

Maycee Barber expressed her views on rival ufc-vegas-107-erin-blanchfield-vs-maycee-barber-live-round-by-round-updates" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-is-sponsored="false">Erin Blanchfield, calling her a one-dimensional fighter.

Barber also plans to inflict damage regardless of where the fight plays out. She said:

"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 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."
