The unanimous decision win, however, wasn’t a convincing one in the eyes of the fans as Barber, unfortunately, tore her ACL in the first round.
Maycee Barber’s father Bucky Barber commented on the loss in an Instagram post and revealed that his daughter suffered the ACL injury ten seconds into the fight and it only got worse as she continued to fight.
Bucky was proud of her daughter’s character and questioned the nature of her loss, attributing it to an unfortunate accident and not the skill of her opponent.
A section of the fanbase may not be too pleased with Bucky Barber’s rant as he didn’t give Roxanne Modafferi the credit she deserves. Despite the injury, ‘The Happy Warrior’ fought really well and outpointed a wounded Barber.
Here’s what Maycee’s father posted on Instagram:
Barber is only 21 years old with an 8-1 record and her father is confident that ‘The Future’ will return to the Octagon as a better competitor.
Modafferi also reacted to Bucky Barber’s Instagram outburst with the following tweet:
