A new women’s bantamweight fight is currently in the works with Aspen Ladd in talks to meet Sara McMann at a UFC Fight Night event on June 27.
Multiple sources confirmed the news to MMA Fighting with verbal agreements in place, although no contracts have been issued or signed at this time. MMA Junkie was first to report the matchup.
Ladd was originally scheduled to compete in March in a showdown against Julianna Pena, but that fight fell apart in the weeks leading up to the event. Unfortunately, additional sources told MMA Fighting that Pena is currently injured and unable to compete at this time.
