The Ultimate Fighting Championship returned on Saturday night with UFC on ESPN 68 as we said goodbye to May. The event was scheduled to be headlined by a flyweight bout between Maycee Barber and Erin Blanchfield.

Unfortunately, the main event never took place as Barber suffered a medical emergency just as she was preparing to walk out for the bout at the UFC Apex.

Barber had missed weight for the flyweight contest just over 24 hours earlier.

While the ending was unfortunate, the event did provide plenty of action including incredible finishes from Jordan Leavitt on the preliminary card and Ramiz Brahimaj in what turned out to be the co-main event. Both men earned $50,000 Performance of the Night bonuses for their efforts.

If you missed out on Saturday night's action, we have you covered.
