Overview
- Barber, who posted a video late Sunday, told fans she is OK, thanked the UFC and Grasso, and said she remembers little of the finish.
- During Saturday’s co-main event in Seattle, Grasso dropped Barber with a left hand and secured a rear‑naked choke as referee Mike Beltran stopped the bout, with the result recorded as a knockout.
- Barber lay motionless for several seconds, then left for further checks at a local hospital, as her boyfriend Oscar Herrera and coach Guilherme Faria posted reassurances that she was doing well.
- The defeat ended Barber’s seven-fight win streak and paused her climb toward a title shot, while boosting Grasso’s position in the women’s flyweight race.
- The scare drew extra attention because Barber only recently returned from more than a year of medical issues, and she now plans to heal and train for a return after confirming memory gaps from the finish.
