UFC Vegas 40 Betting Preview: Aspen Ladd vs. Norma Dumont

Who saw this coming? Just two short weeks ago Aspen Ladd was Riverdancing on the weigh-in scale, and eventually fell ill due to the weight cut, resulting in a cancellation of her fight. This weekend, Norma Dumont was going to be left without an opponent in the main event after Holly Holm withdrew due to a knee injury.

Who steps in?

Aspen Ladd.

You read that right. Aspen Ladd will move up a weight class and take on Norma Dumont, headlining a UFC card that doesn't feature a single ranked fighter (in their weight division) top to bottom.
