Aspen Ladd expands combat sports career into bare-knuckle boxing

Aspen Ladd is expanding her combat sports career into bare-knuckle boxing. Following a successful MMA career that included stints in the UFC and PFL, Ladd is set to make her BKB debut against Bianca ‘Diamante’ Daimoni at BKB 58 in Miami. Ladd previously demonstrated her effectiveness in bare-knuckle competition at BKFC 84, where she secured a first-round knockout against Shyanna Bintliff.

In addition to her boxing pursuits, Ladd has competed in high-level MMA matchups, including a notable bout against Olympic gold medalist Kayla Harrison in the Professional Fighters League (PFL). The matchup between Harrison and Ladd featured a clash of styles, pitting Harrison’s elite judo and grappling against Ladd’s pressure-based striking and toughness.
