UFC flyweight contender Maycee Barber is currently ranked in the Top 5 at 125 pounds.
With that in mind, it’s understandable why “The Future” would take potshots are current flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko. Manufacture beef, get the fanbase talking, compel matchmakers to book the fight, yada yada yada.
The 27 year-old Barber (15-2) is hitching her trash-talking wagon to former bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, who used Shevchenko and “Bullet’s” OnlyFans account as part of her recent rant
against UFC.
“Ronda Rousey is the reason why Valentina gets to fight in the UFC,” Barber told MMA Fighting. “And Valentina’s lack of personality is the reason why Valentina has an OnlyFans.”
Kevin Holland also has an OnlyFans account, so maybe (just maybe) it’s not about the personality.
“I don’t think Dana [White] wants a point fighter as a champion,” Barber added. “I’m just guessing. I’m just making an assumption. I think I match up great, but right now my focus is [Alexa] Grasso. After I beat Grasso, then I’ll be talking about how I match up against Valentina. But I think Valentina is getting older, and I think this is the perfect time for me to go and take that belt from her.”
Barber rematches former flyweight champion Alexa Grasso at UFC Seattle this weekend on Paramount+.
