- Maycee vs Rose would be a great fight. Get to feeling better soon, Maycee.

[@j.f.almeida9081]

Maycee vs Natalia Silva next.

[@iketurner8212]

I like that. Silva wins by unanimous decision. But Maycee said she's not fighting backwards unless it's against Juliana Pena.

[@mmaart1309]

Lol she still ducking erin and manon, she said i dont wanna fight backwards first, and then picked to fight rose over the number one contender erin or manon?😂

[@pokemonovice9758]

She´s calling out Alexa, a girl that´s not only better than both -Erin and Fiorot-, but also that already beat her handily and with a torn knee

[@mmaart1309]

@@pokemonovice9758 Grasso already whooped her 😂 and she’s calling out the champion knowing there’s not a snow ball chance in hell ufc will give her a title shot ahead of erin and manon. First she said i dont wanna fight backwards and when the interviewer asks her will u prefer to fight rose(backward) or the winner of erin/manon(ahead in the ranking and a number 1 contender) she picked rose 😂 she is contradicting herself and scared to fight girls who are better than her, with that attitude she will never be champion, she will never call out erin directly.

[@pokemonovice9758]

No, she said she wants Grasso win or lose against Shevchenko, she's been calling her out for the last couple years. Why would she be scared of 'Toddler Striking' Blanchfield and her overrated wrestling she went 0/3 in takedowns against Aldrich (JJ took her down several times lol) and 0/15 in takedowns against the worst version of Taila coming off several surgeries! Haha😅@@mmaart1309

@@pokemonovice9758 lol grasso will knock out this broad this time and erin will ragdoll her, this fight will never happen cuz erin is getting a title shot after this win and becoming a champion next year while maycee is being jealous and mad 😂 maycee will never touch that belt man, never.

[@rockfordsolids5353]

what a trial! went through something similar recently. I am glad you made it through Maycee

[@creekfinds]

Maycee's always talking about her "personality". I don't see it.

[@peters3524]

You completely left out the rest of the quote where she states that Barber dodged fights for both her and Manon. Also, she continues to dodge a fight with them.

[@MrMf92]

true

[@jasonpeprose]

The UFC should now be pushing Lipski, much improved since joining ATT, Lipski finishes fights!

[@killer36ize]

Brother you forgot to ask her about her relationship with Youssef

[@yourdigieye7426]

He's a just a close friend.. Zalal is married and he have a kid

[@MehmetSahin-tk5nh]

No bro ​@@yourdigieye7426

[@jasonpeprose]

Erin Blanchfield has a point!

[@walterbell2763]

Good interview however, she needs to be a little more honest and realistic with herself. You cannot talk realty into being what will actually happen. You have to work for it to become real.

[@bernardocisneros4402]

Maycee is afraid of Erin and Manon. She would rather take on Rose who is ranked lower than to fight Erin or Fiorot who are ranked higher. In her own words, she doesn't want to fight Rose because that would be going backwards, but when given the choice between fighting Erin, Fiorot, or Rose, she chooses Rose.

[@mmaart1309]

Lol facts 😂😂

[@josephchonza7387]

I like Maycee but listening to her inconsistencies I figured she doesn't want to face Erin or Fiorot. And for good reason, one is heads and shoulders above her in grappling and the other is a better striker than her

[@mmaart1309]

@@josephchonza7387 yes maycee is not that good anywhere, she is a brawler which gives a lot of opportunities and openings for erin to take her down, and erin is 10 times better grappler and jiu jitsu fighter than maycee, so its a nightmare matchup for her, maycee is smart trying to get to the top without fighting erin and manon, but she cant, she will have to go through them.

[@josephchonza7387]

@@mmaart1309 exactly. And Manon who's a stand-up fighter with better reach and more technical abilities would be happy to outstrike her. She also wants Alexa, but I think all roads should lead to facing the winner on Saturday

[@mmaart1309]

@@josephchonza7387 💯 agree bro

[@ThisIsNotYourFriend]

Barbs got dem cheeks

[@LolitaDavidovitch]

Dude, why didn't they work you up for sepsis to begin with?

[@jamesavery5831]

Or Neurapathy

[@sagemaster3408]

Exactly. Something doesn’t make sense here. That’s the first thing that would show up in blood work .

[@corinacotter6606]

Wow! That makes her fight even more impressive

[@troycowan3535]

Given the option she would rather fight down. Goes a little to what Blanchfield was saying. I like Maycee but she has the opportunity to take out a top contender potentially but Rose would probably draw more attention.

[@IsenathiDyantyi]

next!! Barber 👧🇺🇲 vs 👧🇺🇲 Namajunes

[@Bahamut3525]

I want to see her fight Manon Fiorot considering they are both big tough women.

[@lonelycoastertx1199]

Alexa bs Valentina at the sphere is most likely happening next. Winner of Manon vs Erin should definitely be next. Maycee vs Rose is the fight to make. I honestly don’t think Maycee beats any of those fighters.

[@LolitaDavidovitch]

Maybe the antibiotics from the first ER visit masked the infection to the 2nd ER visit and subsequent hospital admission.

[@BLACKRULERSHIP]

Sick as women lay down with dogs wake up with fleas

[@donaldsimmons253]

Who ever sent you home from the ER should fired if you can’t figured out you admit you to hospital that pure racklessness. Most grow folks would be dead at 105 temp. WOW!

[@sagemaster3408]

Did she ever say what it ended up being that made her so sick?

[@The-downfall]

This girl is a real hottie, I love these beautiful female fighters, thankfully she’s ok, it’s so crazy what happened to her, but fortunately she’s okay now,

[@tonytorres1624]

Best wishes to her.

[@migdalia419]

And if she would have lost she would be saying the same thing...

[@JoseRodrigues-jd2tg]

Lol Erin way more exciting then her lol

[@bearwolffish]

Like Maycee cus she always focused on job.

[@ryan010able]

the fact she isent calling out manon or fiorot is very telling. she gets starched by both women i think. and dont like her chances against val either.

[@lorileon2816]

The most delusional fighter in ufc history. All she's got is athleticism

[@NewDarkKnight]

She definitely doesn’t watch many fights.

[@devinmccloud]

"She needs milk!"

[@yarirobles1197]

🤦🏻‍♀️ she’s a complete run-on sentence.

[@bronzedeity649]

Your scared lil girl.

[@rdrgz7868]

Excuse after excuse. You like to talk but don't back it up. You're an average fighter tbh. Your style works 40% of the time... you need to improve ur skills. You should not be saying anything maycee when your either injured, have excuses for losses. It was all hype and you have yet to become that elite fighter.... That's that...

[@MrSlimeEmOut187]

She’s beautiful
