Talking to UFC News (H/t to MMA Junkie) ahead of the fight, Barber shared the secret behind her exclusiveness as a female fighter.

Maycee Barber: I’m a completely different fighter

Barber believes what makes her stand out in the crowd is her ability to finish the fights. She claimed that knocking out each and every opponent is something nearly unheard of in women’s fighting, and that achievement makes her “completely different” from everyone else.

‘The Future’ also revealed that many coaches have told her they were not interested in women’s fighting because it goes on till the end and gets tedious and boring. According to Barber, that is something she has never done - which once again puts her in a different league.

The Barber vs. Modafferi fight will take place at UFC 246 on January 18 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Barber went on to thank her fellow Roufusport fighter Anthony Pettis, who also features in the Las Vegas event, for his support, advice, and motivation.
