The Ultimate Fighting Championship will be back in action this weekend with UFC Vegas 40. The event will take place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. An intriguing women’s featherweight title bout will headline the event.

The American women’s fighter, Aspen Ladd, will take on the Brazilian fighter Norma Domont inside the cage on 16th October. Earlier, Holly Holm was scheduled to take on the Brazilian fighter. However, Holm pulled out of the fight because of a knee injury. Thankfully, Ladd agreed to serve as a replacement for Holm.

A win in this five-round gruesome scrap will surely earn both the women’s fighters a title shot next against the champion Amanda Nunes, as there are barely any fighters remaining in the featherweight division of UFC.

Ladd took a long hiatus from the octagon and will return in action on the back of one win in 2019. While ‘The Immortal’ after a loss in her UFC debut has improved her performance and is currently on a two-fight win streak.

Ahead of the featherweight bout, we look at the career of both the fighters to compare their strength and weaknesses and come close to a conclusion on how the scrap could possibly end.

Aspen Ladd vs Norma Dumont: A Possible Title Shot Next in Line

‘The Immortal’ made her UFC debut in 2020. She has three-fight experience in the promotion. Meanwhile, the 26-year-old is a more experienced fighter than Dumont. She made her debut in 2017 and has five UFC fights in her books.

Interestingly, both the women’s fighters have only one loss in their professional MMA careers. However, Aspen Ladd is an expert grappler and is known for her ruthless ground and pound. She has finished 67% of her fights. Even though the Brazilian has fewer finishes in her resume, she might control the fight with her pace akin to her previous bouts.
