The landscape in Aspen Ladd’s fighting career has changed drastically and abruptly in recent months. Yet, despite all the differences, her main goal remains: to become a champion wherever she’s fighting.
The former UFC contender was fighting under the PFL banner after leaving the UFC in late 2022. However, that all changed out of nowhere when PFL disbanded the women’s featherweight season for 2024, only hosting 125 pounds for women after purchasing rival promotion Bellator in late 2023.
Ladd (11-5) has yet to make her Bellator debut but does have a fight scheduled. She’s expected to meet Ekaterina Shakalova at the Bellator Championship Series event in Paris on May 17. Although things may seem new and uncertain, Ladd’s focus remains unchanged.
