Leslie Smith is no longer under UFC contract, according to the women’s bantamweight.
Smith was expected to face Aspen Ladd on Saturday at UFC Fight Night 128 in Atlantic City, New Jersey, but Ladd missed weight Friday morning at the official weigh-ins. Had the bout remained intact, Smith would have received 20 percent of her opponent’s purse. Ladd even offered to give Smith an extra $5,000. But as a result of Ladd’s miss, Smith declined to fight her, per MMAFighting.com’s Ariel Helwani. Smith vs. Ladd was pulled from the card, which will proceed with 11 bouts.
