LAS VEGAS – Dana White says the UFC had no choice but to release Aspen Ladd.
Ladd (9-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) was cut by the promotion Tuesday after three fight cancellations caused by her missing weight. The 27-year-old was scheduled to face Sara McMann at UFC Fight Night 210, but the bout was scrapped after Ladd came in at 138 pounds, two pounds over the bantamweight limit.
Ladd’s weight cut was stopped by commission officials. The miss marked the final straw for the UFC.
