Aspen Ladd Signs With BKB After UFC, PFL Runs

Former UFC and PFL contender Aspen Ladd has signed with Bare Knuckle Boxing and will make her promotional debut Aug. 29 in Miami, the organization announced Tuesday.

Ladd, who holds a 12-5 record across 17 professional MMA fights, previously competed in BKFC last November and secured a first-round finish. Her résumé includes bouts against Kayla Harrison, Germaine de Randamie and Raquel Pennington across multiple top-tier promotions.

She meets Bianca Daimoni in the final event of BKB's Summer series at the James L. Knight Center. Daimoni debuted at BYB 36 in early 2025 with a split-decision win over Ashley Brace but dropped her most recent outing, a unanimous decision loss to Jamie Driver at BKB 50.

In a statement released by the promotion, Ladd said BKB "gives me the chance to compete with everything on the line, no gloves, no hiding, and I'm ready to show everyone what I can do," per Sherdog.

The card is headlined by heavyweight champion Gustavo Trujillo defending his title against Mark O'Neil. Olympic gold medalist Yuriorkis Gamboa also makes his BKB debut against Yesner Talavera on the Aug. 29 show.
