The sequence saw Barber knocked out and quickly submitted, literally seconds later, leaving her unconscious on the canvas for several seconds.<\/p>\n<p>The loss snaps Barber\u2019s impressive seven-fight win streak \u2014 which included victories over Katlyn Cerminara, Amanda Ribas, and Karine Silva \u2014 and likely halts her momentum in the title picture. She now falls to 0-2 against Grasso.<\/p>\n<p>Bahamondes (17-7) was also taken to the hospital for precautionary scans following a three-round war with Tofiq Musayev. Despite losing a unanimous decision, the bout earned \u201cFight of the Night\u201d honors.<\/p>\n<p>The 28-year-old Chilean has now dropped back-to-back fights for the first time in his career \u2014 both coming against fighters from Azerbaijan. Prior to that stretch, Bahamondes had scored three straight first-round finishes over Jalin Turner (watch highlights), Manuel Torres, and Christos Giagos.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Simon (22-7-1) was also transported for precautionary CT scans after a grueling three-round battle with Adrian Yanez, which ended in a controversial draw.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to that result, Simon went 2-1 in 2025, including a highlight-reel knockout win at the previous UFC Seattle event (watch highlights) after enduring a three-fight skid between 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n<p>At this time, the results of both fighters\u2019 scans have not been disclosed.<\/p>\n<p>It is normal for UFC to transport fighters to the hospital for precautionary reasons, especially if the fighters are involved in three-round battles that are full of damage or after suffering nasty knockouts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maycee Barber\u2019s team gives health update after scary UFC Seattle loss Maycee Barber is in good health despite some scary scenes in her UFC Fight Night 271&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12841,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12839","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12839","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12839"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12839\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12840,"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12839\/revisions\/12840"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/12841"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12839"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12839"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12839"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
