Ladd gets the call despite suffering through a terrible weigh-in at UFC Vegas 39, where she was pulled from her bout with Macy Chiasson. That was the second time we have seen Ladd tremble on the scales.
Today she’s weighing in at featherweight for the first time in her career. So hopefully we don’t see a repeat performance of her struggles at bantamweight.
