Maycee Barber out of UFC 335 bout with Carli Judice, to be rebooked

Maycee Barber has been pulled from her women's flyweight fight with Carli Judice on the December 12 UFC 335 card in Las Vegas, MMA Fighting reported. No reason for the withdrawal has been disclosed. The bout is being treated as a postponement rather than a cancellation, with plans to rebook it for a later date.

UFC 335 remains headlined by a BMF title fight between Charles Oliveira and Diego Lopes.

Barber, 28, is 15-3-0 and ranked seventh in the women's flyweight division. The Team Alpha Male fighter comes off a first-round KO/TKO loss to Alexa Grasso on March 28, her most recent recorded fight. Before that, she beat Karine Silva by unanimous decision at UFC 323 on December 6, 2025. She lands 4.56 significant strikes per minute at 53 percent accuracy and averages 1.56 takedowns per 15 minutes.

Judice, 27, is 7-2-0 and arrives with momentum. She has won her last three recorded fights, most recently a first-round KO/TKO of Jeisla Chaves on August 22. That followed a unanimous decision over Juliana Miller in February and a third-round stoppage of Nicolle Caliari at UFC 318 in July 2025. The southpaw from Headkicks MMA lands 9.33 significant strikes per minute at 50 percent accuracy, though she averages just 0.5 takedowns per 15 minutes.

Why it matters

• The numbers point to a clear style contrast: Judice's strike output is more than double Barber's per minute (9.33 to 4.56), while Barber is the more active wrestler.
• Judice holds a three-inch reach edge (68 inches to 65) and a two-inch height advantage, at five-foot-seven to five-foot-five.
• Barber is the higher-ranked fighter, while Judice has the sharper recent form, with three straight wins to Barber's one win and one loss over her last two outings.
• A postponement keeps the matchup alive, but no new date has been set.

Barber is one year older than Judice, 28 to 27. Neither fighter has a recorded previous meeting with the other.
