UFC Fight Night 195: Aspen Ladd to face Norma Dumont in the main event

UFC Fight Night: Ladd vs. Dumont - What is the start time for the UFC fight tonight (October 16, 2021)?

Modified Oct 15, 2021 21:38 GMT

The UFC octagon will host yet another headlining women's bout this weekend. Aspen Ladd will take on Norma Dumont in a featherweight clash at UFC Fight Night 195, also called UFC Vegas 40.

After missing weight for her previously scheduled return at UFC Vegas 38, Aspen Ladd will be going up a weight class and making her 145-pound debut on Saturday.

With the women's featherweight division being quite shallow, a win on Saturday could land the victor closer to a title shot against champion Amanda Nunes.
