Aspen Ladd

Aspen Ladd may be replacing Holly Holm in this main event but she is never a pushover. This fighter is now ranked 10th overall in the pound-for-pound rankings and the third-best contender for the women’s bantamweight title. She has no problem going up in weight and it could even work in her favor. Ladd is just at her prime age of 2 years old and possesses a lot of potential to climb up the rankings even further. Her only professional loss in 10 matches happened way back in July 2019 against Germaine de Randamie but bounced back by knocking out Yana Kunitskaya in UFC on ESPN 7.

Norma Dumont

Norma Dumont has a lot of upside going into this match as this 31-year-old fighter from Minas Gerais, Brazil has great potential to make a good run at the women’s featherweight division. She only tasted one loss in her professional career and that was against Megan Anderson in February 2020. This fighter was able to bounce back and took back-to-back wins over Ashlee Evans-Smith and Felicia Spencer. Her advantage is that she competed consistently as compared to Aspen Ladd who took time off the cage for almost two years. Her training is currently handled by the Team Rules fight stable.

Ladd vs Dumont Summary

The big question heading to this match is how well conditioned Aspen Ladd is. She should have fewer problems doing that with her young age and will be seen in UFC betting lines as the safer pick to make. Norma Dumont is still inconsistent and should be on her best game in order to keep it close with a well-conditioned Ladd.
