UFC bantamweight Aspen Ladd (28:30) provides an update on her recovery from a torn ACL and MCL she suffered this past June, when she is targeting a return, talks Amanda Nunes’ recent submission win over Megan Anderson, Julianna Pena calling for the next title shot, feeling like a fight between her and Pena makes the most sense, if she’d be interested in shaking things up by going up to 145 to fight Nunes for the featherweight title, and what would make sense if a fight with Pena doesn’t happen.
