I\u2019m told her recovery could be anywhere between 3-9 months,&#8221; John Morgan reported.<\/p>\n<p>Aspen Ladd returned to the win column last time out. There, she scored a TKO win over Yana Kunitskaya at UFC Washington D.C. last December. Before that, she had suffered a knockout loss in just 16 seconds against Germaine de Randamie in the main event of UFC Sacramento in July.<\/p>\n<p>Ladd is currently ranked third in the bantamweight division. She is 9-1 as a pro including being 4-1 inside the Octagon with notable wins over Sijara Eubanks and Tonya Evinger.<\/p>\n<p>Sara McMann, meanwhile, is ranked ninth in the division and like Ladd returned to the win column last time out. There, she beat Lina Lansberg by decision after suffering back-to-back losses to Marion Reneau by submission and Ketlen Vieira by submission as well.<\/p>\n<p>Many assumed the fight between Ladd and McMann would serve as a number one contender bout where the winner would later face Amanda Nunes for the belt. Yet, with Ladd now out of the fight, it is unknown if there will be a replacement opponent. Some options could be Germaine de Randamie, Macy Chiasson, or Julianna Pena who all makes sense for McMann ranking wise.<\/p>\n<p>With Ladd-McMann off of UFC on ESPN 12, <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/holly-holm\/holly-holm-vs-irene-aldana-headlines-ufc-fight-night-on-august-1\/\">the Irene Aldana vs. Holly Holm matchup on August 1<\/a> could be the new number one contender bout. Mike Winkeljohn even told BJPENN.com that Holm is one win away from a title shot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn my heart, I believe Holly is one fight away from a title shot. Man, she made a big mistake against Nunes. Everyone that fights Nunes has fallen in that trap,\u201d Winkeljohn <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/exclusive-interviews\/holly-holm-is-one-fight-away-from-a-title-shot-according-to-mike-winkeljohn\/\">said to BJPENN.com<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019ve been amazed as to what Amanda can do. But, I think she got exposed with GDR [Germaine De Randamie] and one more win and Holly gets that shot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What do you make of Aspen Ladd being forced off the UFC on ESPN 12 card?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aspen Ladd will no longer be fighting Sara McMann.
