A stacked UFC 235 card hit a bummer Thursday night when UFC President Dana White, unexpectedly enough, told the reporters that the bantamweight fixture between Holly Holm and Aspen Ladd will no longer take place.
While Dana did assure that a replacement for the fight is currently being searched for, at the same time rumours have been making the rounds that a fight between champ champ Amanda Nunes and Holly Holm is being booked for later this year. The undefeated Ladd appeared on The Luke Thomas Show and talked about how she felt on the fight being cancelled.
“It sucks for me, personally. If her team decided to do that, I understand. But at the same time, it’s kind of shady”, said Ladd after asked how she felt about all the rumours that have been flying around about Holm’s matching with Nunes. When asked about what would she would have done if it was she who was offered a fight with Nunes instead of Holly. “My answer is going to be different from a lot of people. I am young in the game and I’m not taking that fight. I don’t care. I just wanna fight as many people as possible as often as possible.”
