MMA fighter Maycee Barber got choked up talking about her knockout loss over the weekend, saying she looked dead lying there on the canvas.
Barber posted a video on X after she was savagely beaten by her opponent, Alexa Grasso, during their UFC flyweight matchup in Seattle on Saturday night.

In the first round, Grasso landed a hard left to the face, dropping Barber like a sack of potatoes before finishing her off by choking her out. Barber was left lying limp on the canvas with a blank stare in her eyes. Grasso was announced the winner of the fight.
In her Sunday night X post, Barber kicked things off by recapping the bout, saying she couldn’t remember a whole lot, except for what she sees on social media, which are videos of her looking dead.
So, she hopped on X to tell everyone she’s doing okay while vowing to return to the Octagon to continue her “fighting journey.”
Despite her bone-crushing loss, Barber claims her fight with Grasso was still “one of the greatest days of my life.”
UFC president Dana White went one step further during a press conference, calling the fight “one of the greatest in sports history, let alone this year, tonight or whatever.”
