The Professional Fighters League (PFL) wasted no time getting Aspen Ladd her first assignment.
The recent PFL signee will compete in the soon-to-be-announced women’s featherweight division and share the SmartCage with Julia Budd at the 2022 PFL Championships set for Nov. 25 at Hulu Theater in New York City. Drake Riggs of MMA Mania was first to report the fight, and Ladd confirmed it during a recent appearance on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani.
“I’m thrilled,” said Ladd. “It’s pretty much a fighter’s dream at Madison Square Garden and I’m excited that I don’t have to wait until next April basically to start this next season.
