Aspen Ladd explains how she faced defeat just like she does winning by not overreacting

If you’ve ever witnessed Ladd following any of her wins in the UFC, the top 10 ranked bantamweight contender isn’t typically climbing the cage or screaming profanities at the top of her lungs in celebration.

The same can be said after she suffered her first defeat this past July when she fell to former UFC champion Germaine de Randamie.

While she was obviously disappointed by the result—and what she believes was an early stoppage—ultimately Ladd just rolled with the punches afterwards and didn’t allow herself to get too downtrodden over the setback in her very young career.
