Maycee Barber Targets February Rematch With Alexa Grasso After UFC 3232 Win

Grasso’s recent withdrawal from UFC 324 leaves the former champion’s availability uncertain.

Overview

Barber improved to 15-2 (10-2 UFC) with a unanimous-decision victory over Karine Silva at UFC 3232, her first bout since March.
She told MMA Junkie Radio she is ready for a quick turnaround and has asked to fight in February 2026.
Ranked No. 5 at flyweight, Barber is pushing to revisit her 2021 loss to Grasso as a step toward a No. 1 contender fight or a title shot.
Grasso withdrew from a scheduled matchup with Rose Namajunas at UFC 324, and no official reason has been disclosed.
Barber has speculated about the nature of Grasso’s issue but emphasized that UFC matchmakers will determine timing and opponents.
