5 female UFC fighters who are tougher than they look

#5 Maycee Barber

Maycee Barber's baby face belies a ferocious style inside the Octagon

Maycee ‘The Future’ Barber, who debuted in the UFC in 2018 following a win on Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series, is one of the youngest fighters on the promotion’s roster at just 20 years old. Somehow though, the rising Strawweight star doesn’t even look that old – realistically, she probably wouldn’t look out of place at most high schools.

Standing at just 5’5” and sporting a cute smile, you’d be forgiven for thinking Barber was not a professional MMA fighter at all – and yet when she’s locked inside the Octagon, ‘The Future’ becomes one of the most aggressive fighters in her division.

Her 6-fight MMA career has seen her finish 5 of her opponents before the final buzzer, and her assault on Hannah Cifers in her UFC debut – leading to a second-round TKO due to elbow strikes – was one of the most ferocious ever seen in the Strawweight division. She might have a baby face, but Maycee Barber is not a fighter to be messed with.
