Maycee Barber on Ronda Rousey comparisons: I’m the face of a ‘whole new breed of athletes’

20-year-old strawweight Maycee Barber was able to keep her professional record unblemished on Saturday night with a come-from-behind win over J.J. Aldrich. Now on her third straight TKO win, “The Future” is starting to make herself known to the MMA public.

So much so that she had apparently been getting comparisons with former UFC women’s bantamweight champion and company superstar Ronda Rousey. Barber, however, is looking to pave her own path to greatness, as she separates herself from such associations.

“I’m a completely different person than Ronda, and that’s no disrespect to her,” Barber told the media during a post-fight scrum.
