Maycee Barber had to text Dana White during parking lot confrontation with drunk "crazy lady" - "I'm going to jail"
Maycee Barber recently shared that she had to inform Dana White, warning him of a potential arrest as she confronted an intoxicated woman in a parking lot.
Last week, Barber found herself in a tense standoff with a woman who posed a threat. In a clip shared on Instagram by the UFC flyweight fighter and her friend, social media influencer Demi Bagby, the footage depicted an intoxicated woman leaning on Bagby's truck.
Despite being asked to move, the woman defiantly engaged in an argument. Matters escalated when she threatened physical violence, oblivious to the fact that she was confronting a professional MMA fighter.

During a recent interview with TMZ Sports, 'The Future' confessed that she reached out to the UFC CEO for assistance if the situation spiraled out of control:
"Dude, crazy lady that is drunk, I'm like one swing, I’m like 'I know Demi could take her.' But I’m like, 'Uh-uh...' Like don’t touch my people, right? I just wanted her to swing on Demi, I'm like- I was getting ready, I’m like, 'I'm gonna have to call Dana and explain to him why I’m going to jail because I had to lay this lady out.'"
She added:
"I literally have a text thread with Dana telling him that. I'm like, 'Dude, I thought I was gonna have to call you tonight and be like hey, come help me out, I need to get out of jail.' I had my phone out recording, I'm cracking up because I think it’s hilarious."
