When Maycee Barber signed with the UFC, she immediately set a goal for herself to become the youngest champion in the history of the promotion.
Those might have seemed like lofty ambitions but Barber was nothing if not focused on achieving her dreams after earning her contract and immediately getting the attention of UFC president Dana White.
Unfortunately, the bottom fell out on Barber just over a year ago when she tasted defeat for the first time in her career in a fight against Roxanne Modafferi but the sting of the loss was compounded by a torn ACL in her knee.
