Racks up seventh straight win Barber defeated Karine Silva via unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC 323 on Saturday in Las Vegas.

Impact It's been a long road back for Barber following her last-minute withdrawal from a main event fight against Erin Blanchfield in May. She really battled hard here against Silva, displaying her trademark aggressiveness and ability to rack up a ton of damage in a short amount of time. Maycee struggled a bit early on before finding her range. She eventually won the significant strike battle by a 55-21 count, in addition to landing three takedowns and 6:20 worth of control time. It was a real solid effort, albeit against an opponent nowhere near the caliber of a Blanchfield. Barber has won seven straight dating back to July 2021, so more notable matchups are going to be forthcoming.
