Ladd improves to 6-0 in her pro career.
THEY SAID IT:
Aspen Ladd: “This was my first fight in quite a while and she did everything we expected her to. It was a slow start for me but as soon as I listened to my coaches, everything went according to plan. I loved the crowd here, they were so enthusiastic and the place is packed – they were so loud and I just loved it. It was a good finish tonight but everything can always be improved. As soon as the UFCs’s ready for me to fight again, I’m good to go. I’ll take anybody. Eventually the goal is to be the best 135lbs fighter there is. I really believe that is achievable“
Josh Emmett def. Felipe ArantesJosh Emmett established control of the fight in the first round with a few big power shots that led to a staggering four knockdowns. Emmett landed 56 total strikes and 39 significant strikes in the round and cruised to a unanimous decision win, 30-26, 30-26, 30-25. Arantes came back in the second round and started to land some shots of his own, but Emmett turned the pace back up in the final round to put an exclamation point on his win in featherweight debut.
THEY SAID IT:
Josh Emmett: “That was pretty perfect although I thought I was going to get the finish in the first round. He fell down a few times but he was tough as hell. It’s tough to make the weight class but I felt too small at lightweight so this was the perfect move for me, I felt great. I want to show the UFC and everyone that this is my division and I want to just keep on climbing the ranks. I really want to fight on the December 9th card in California next. It’s a few hours from Sacramento where I train and I will sell that place out. I will fight anybody – I’ve never said no to a fight and they know that. The fans here in Europe are super fans. They’re really respectful and just big fight fans so I have loved fighting here in Poland. Now I’m looking forward to spending a few more days here and celebrating with my wife for our wedding anniversary.“
