CSAC suspends Aspen Ladd’s license to fight at bantamweight after UFC Sacramento loss

The fight night weights report from the California State Athletic Commission confirm what many might have suspected: Aspen Ladd cuts an enormous amount of weight to make 135 lbs.

Ladd, who has had a history of weight cutting issues in the UFC, with truly frightening moments filmed on the scale, ballooned from 135 lbs to 159 lbs for her UFC Sacramento main event vs. Germaine de Randamie. The 18% weight gain from weigh-in to fight day — a greater percentage than anyone on the card — has prompted the CSAC to suspend Ladd’s license to compete at bantamweight, pending documentation from a licensed physician.
