Women’s bantamweight contender Aspen Ladd has been released from the UFC.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old has been out of action since her bout with Raquel Pennington<\/a> in April. At UFC 273, ‘Rocky’ scored a unanimous decision victory. The loss was the second in a row for Ladd, who previously lost to Norma Dumont up at 145-pounds.<\/p>\n

The California native was set to face off with Sara McMann<\/a> earlier this month at UFC Vegas 60. However, the bout was called off after weigh-ins, due to Ladd missing weight by two pounds. McMann refused to fight her as a result. The weight miss was the third time in Ladd’s career that she missed weight.<\/p>\n

It also seems that the UFC Vegas 60-weight miss might’ve been the final straw for the UFC. As first reported by UFC Roster Watch<\/em><\/a>, and later confirmed by MMAFighting<\/em>, the 27-year-old has been cut by the promotion.<\/p>\n

While no official reason has been given, Aspen Ladd was likely released due to her trouble making weight. In addition to missing weight on three occasions, the 27-year-old has visibly trembled on the scale in the past, such as in her 2019 knockout loss to Germaine de Randamie.<\/p>\n

Those weight misses led California State Athletic Commission to recommend the bantamweight to move up. However, Ladd only fought once up at 145-pounds. That bout came last fall when she lost to Norma Dumont after missing weight for a previous fight with Macy Chiasson.<\/p>\n

With her release, Aspen Ladd will exit the UFC with a 4-3 professional record. While once regarded as a top prospect, she failed to be consistent in the promotion. However, at only 27 years old, there’s no guarantee we don’t see her in the octagon again in the future.<\/p>\n
