12 UFC Fights You Can't Miss In March
6. Maycee Barber Vs. JJ Aldrich - UFC Fight Night 148
It's all well and good keeping an eye at the top of the UFC's various weight classes as that's where a lot of the best fights take place. However, the real joy of this sport is finding a fighter early on in their career and watching them realise their potential in the Octagon. Well, if you want to be able to say "I told you so!" to all your MMA pals, then put some serious stock into Maycee Barber.
"The Future" isn't even legally allowed to buy a drink yet in her home state, Colorado, but she's one of UFC's brightest stars. The best way to describe her is that she's absolutely relentless while pursuing an opponent, yet not reckless in the slightest. It's the sort of calculated chaos that you usually only see in older fighters.
JJ Aldrich is a good, challenging step-up in competition, but it's one that Barber should be able to get passed. It's just going to be interesting to see how she evolves as a fighter as she progresses through the strawweight division.
