Under the tutelage of bantamweight great Uriah Faber and Danny Castillo, Maycee Barber looked like a completely different fighter going in against a dangerous Maycee Barber. Often known to go all guns and blazing in the first round, Barber looked more composed and managed the distance with absolute perfection. 

Barber is just 23 years old, and at such a young age, has shown the grit and determination added with her skill-set that promises a future champion. Needless to say, even in her last two losses, she has shown moments of absolute class and perfection. Additionally, her intensity and cardio have been top-notch in all her fights.

A post shared by Maycee “The Future” Barber (@mayceebarber)

Barber under Team Alpha Male is a more composed fighter, who stuck to her gameplan, and did not get too greedy. Barber wasn’t as reckless as she has shown herself to be in the last few fights, and didn’t lunge for a finish. Additionally, she made great use of her wrestling skills and showed an improved clinch game against a tough opponent like Miranda Maverick.

With Maycee Barber back in the winning column, many more exciting matches line up for her going forward.
