Aspen Ladd is setting the record straight. The No. 3 ranked bantamweight contender is moving up in weight to meet Norma Dumont on short notice at UFC Vegas 40 this Saturday night, but it is by no means a reward for what happened to her just a few weeks ago.
Ladd was set to make her return to the Octagon at UFC Vegas 38 against Macy Chiasson, but the fight was canceled after the 26-year-old failed to make weight. She was disappointed that her fight was off and took responsibility for another failed weigh-in, but it would not be long before Ladd was given something else.
