An MMA star was taken to the hospital after an attack for her fight.
The collision of Maycee Barber with Erin Blanchfield was planned as the main event on UFC Vegas 107.
During the Saturday night’s broadcast, officials suddenly announced that Barber was “medically unsuitable” to compete.
The flying weight was canceled just a few minutes before the hunters would walk to the Octagon.
Blanchfield said to ESPN: “We were told six minutes before the strike.
“We were already warming up, I had pads, I was warming up with my training partner. I was literally ready to go.
“I feel that I could already smell the cage. I was ready, and then we just got the news.”
Blanchfield later claimed that, according to the fight, Barber suffered a seizure, according to Yahoo Sports.
The 27-year-old was transported to a hospital in Las Vegas for medical evaluation.
But the exact cause of its medical issue still has to be confirmed by the UFC.

Barber missed the weight before fighting on Friday with only half a pound.
She started the game on a win with six fights, but since June 2023 has only entered the Octagon once.
Barber did not fight in more than a year because of injury and a disease that she admitted to hospital for 11 days.
The ESPN broadcast was left in Chaos after the resident of Colorado did not arise for her walk-on.
The UFC broadcast played the pre-Main event video package alone for no hunters to appear.
After half a minute of silence, commentator Brendan Fitzgerald Fans Barber announced “Not prepared to walk.”
He added: “I still get details, but I only know that she is not going to the Octagon now.
“This is really unprecedented and for me, for a main event prepared to make the introductions and she is not there now.”
