Barber Provides Update on Her Future
“Everything’s going great now,” Barber said on “Morning Kombat.” “It has been a long journey. I was so bummed when – well, first of all, I was so excited to fight Rose because not only was I fighting Rose, but I was also fighting in Denver where I made my UFC debut. So for me, it was my first main event.
“It was a very huge opportunity for me, and I was so excited and then I was devastated when I was told, ‘Hey look, you’re not going to fight on this card.’ Obviously, health is more important. So I was very devastated, but I have made a lot of progress coming forward, and I can’t wait to be back.”
She then spoke about when she could return.
“Yeah, actually I was just messaging with Mick (Maynard), and Hunter (Campbell) called me as well,” Barber said. “I’m hoping for April, honestly. I mean, I know it still is a little ways out, but for me, that’s the timeline that I was given. Originally, I thought it was going to be until July, August of next year, but it’s looking more like April.”
