"It was already six minutes," Blanchfield told MMA Junkie and other reporters backstage after UFC on ESPN 68. "I thought I was going to be told, 'OK, it's time to go.' Then, Hunter (Campbell) comes in and tells me what happened. Yeah, it's pretty crazy."

Blanchfield was critical of her rival in the immediate aftermath of the cancellation, calling Barber unprofessional. Barber also missed weight by a half-pound for the bout, tipping the scales at 126.5 pounds the day prior, which added fuel to Blanchfield's pre-fight concerns of Barber making the fight.
