The Terrifying Moment UFC Star Maycee Barber is Knocked Out, Then Choked Out

What was billed as a titanic clash between two of the UFC’s rising stars ended in one of the most dominant and terrifying finishes in the promotion’s history.

Maycee Barber entered her fight against Alexa Grasso on a 7-fight win streak. But that streak would come to a devastating, emphatic end courtesy of a left-hand from Grasso that sent Barber crumpling to the canvas. Apparently, not feeling that the fight was sufficiently won, Grasso went in for a rear-naked choke before Barber even hit the octagon floor.

Referee Mike Beltran immediately stopped the fight. Barber instinctively lunged for Beltran’s leg before rolling over and lying flat on the mat.

Barber gazed out toward the crowd with an alarmingly blank expression on her face. Doctors rushed out to tend to her, but didn’t get much of a response as the crowd waited in anxious anticipation for Barber to at least sit
