“This was not what I had planned for a Sunday post. Thank you all for your prayers and support. I owe an apology to the UFC (Mick Maynard, Dana White, Sean Shelby and Erin Blanchfield). Note: My life is not a mess, it was just a bad situation. We will resolve everything and be right back,” he wrote.
So far, no official statement from Ultimate or Maycee barber detailed the athlete's health issues, which led to the cancellation of the main fight of the UFC Las Vegas 107. In an interview given shortly after the incident, Erin Blanchfield revealed that he heard from Hunter Campbell, director of the Ultimate, that his rival had suffered convulsions when entering the octagon.
