She averages 1.56 takedown attempts per 15 minutes with 45% accuracy and defends takedowns at 51%, indicating a balanced approach between striking and wrestling without heavy reliance on submissions. Recent performances show mixed results: Barber defeated Andrea Lee via split decision in March 2023, secured a unanimous decision over Katlyn Cerminara in March 2024, and won via second-round TKO against Amanda Ribas in June 2023.
However, she suffered a significant setback against Alexa Grasso in March 2026, losing by first-round knockout in just 1:42—a notable reversal that raises questions about her current form and defensive adjustments at the elite level.
