Aspen Ladd has a new UFC 273 opponent.
With Irene Aldana out due to injury, former UFC women’s title challenger Raquel Pennington (13-8 MMA, 10-7 UFC) has stepped in to fight Ladd (9-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) on approximately two weeks’ notice.
Two people with knowledge of the matchup confirmed the booking Saturday to MMA Junkie but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. Eurosport NL was first to report the change.
