Ladd has lost just once in her career and probably deserves more attention but she realizes what the UFC is. “That’s the state of the UFC,” Ladd said to the media, “Anybody who is willing to talk a little bit of s—t and really be that person gets more attention. It’s just a matter of if you want to do that. If you want to venture into that realm. It’s not me, man.”

UFC Picks
Ladd hasn’t fought in over a year since suffering a serious knee injury, but all indications are that she is raring to go for this fight. Each fighter has suffered just one loss in their career, but I am not impressed at all with the list of fighters that Chiasson has beaten. Both fighters faced Lina Lansberg and Ladd took her out, winning by TKO, while Chiasson lost by unanimous decision. I look at the stats for each of them and I think all of the edges are with Ladd in this fight. She lands more strikes, is more accurate and is tougher. Ladd also has a huge edge on the ground. I just can’t see a scenario where Chiasson gets the win unless Ladd is simply not ready to fight coming off a layoff. I don’t think that will be the case, so I will lay the price and take Ladd to get the win. I think you can also make a case for Ladd getting the finish in this fight, as seven of her nine wins have been finishes. I will also play the rounds in this fight to go under the total.
