A drunk ‘Karen’ tried to pick a fight with UFC flyweight star Maycee Barber.
In a video originally posted on Instagram by social media influencer Demi Bagby, an unidentified, but obviously inebriated woman appeared to be leaning against Bagby’s truck. The woman insisted that she was doing nothing wrong and continued to hold her position despite being asked to move multiple times.
Moments later, the woman physically threatens to “bust” Bagby in the face. At that point, the camera turns, revealing that Bagby is not alone — she was with 14-2 MMA fighter Maycee Barber.
“I’d beat both your motherf*cking a**es,” the woman says, clearly unaware of who she’s talking to.
It’s unclear how the incident concluded, but there appear to be no reports of things getting physical between Bagby, Barber, and the woman.
Maycee Barber Details Her Harrowing Health Scare
Three days after Barber’s impressive victory over Katlyn Cerminara at UFC 299, ‘The Future’ was hospitalized, suffering from a severe case of Streptococcus pyogenes, a type of bacteria that colonizes in the throat and skin. As a result, Barber also developed pneumonia and saw her blood pressure drop to dangerous levels.
“I ended up … being on oxygen, having the blood pressure monitored, and everything being monitored at all times, and being stuck with like a bunch of different needles,” Barber said during an appearance on The MMA Hour. “But we don’t have a definitive answer on what it was. From the moment I went into the hospital, they started giving me antibiotics and giving me stuff to try to bring it down or figure it out.
“As they were doing that, they were also testing, they’re like, ‘We’re giving her this to help with it, but we’re also trying to figure out what it is.’ So they never really got a true answer as to what it was. But the antibiotics that I’m on now are slowly starting to clear it up. So I’m hopeful that it just stays gone and stays away because, for a minute there, I wasn’t sure if I was going to make it.”
Fortunately, Barber appears to have made a full recovery after her nine-day hospital stay and has since resumed training.
