Do you sell weight cut bathwater? Maycee Barber gets weird request in comments

09 March 2024

In a bizarre turn of events, UFC flyweight contender Maycee Barber has found herself at the center of an unusual request from a fan on social media.

Amidst her preparations for her upcoming bout against Katlyn Cerminara at UFC 299, Barber (13-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC) received a rather peculiar inquiry from a fan on Instagram. The fan, whose identity remains unknown, left a comment on one of Barber's posts, asking if she sells her "weight cut bath water."

The comment has sparked a mix of confusion, amusement, and disbelief among fans and followers of the sport. While it's not uncommon for fighters to receive unusual requests or messages from fans on social media, this particular query has raised eyebrows due to its unconventional nature.

Barber, who is currently on a five-fight winning streak, including an impressive TKO victory over Amanda Ribas in June, has yet to publicly address the strange request. However, the timing couldn't be more peculiar as she gears up for her highly anticipated showdown with Cerminara at UFC 299, set to take place at the Kaseya Center in Miami.
