Erin Blanchfield Makes Weight as Maycee Barber Misses Mark Ahead of UFC Vegas 107 Main Event
Erin Blanchfield successfully makes weight for UFC Vegas 107 main event, while Maycee Barber misses the limit.

The UFC Vegas 107 weigh-ins concluded on Friday at the UFC Apex, spotlighting a crucial women’s flyweight bout featuring Erin Blanchfield and Maycee Barber. Blanchfield successfully made the 125-pound limit for this non-title fight, while Barber failed to meet the weight requirement, coming in at 126.5 pounds. Despite missing the mark, Barber will not attempt further weight cutting before their fight scheduled for Saturday.

Barber was not the only athlete struggling with weight limits. On the prelims, Allan Nascimento weighed in at 127.5 pounds for his flyweight matchup against Jafel Filho, who hit the 126-pound mark as required.

Aside from Barber and Nascimento, all other fighters on the UFC Vegas 107 roster successfully made weight.
