Aspen Ladd vs Macy Chiasson: Analysis

Ladd has a very complete skill set. She has good striking. But her primary strength is the grappling department where she is very powerful. Chiasson has good grappling as well but as seen in her last fight, her defense is not up to the level.

Ladd is coming back to the Octagon after a lengthy lay-off. So, one might expect her to be hungrier than ever. She will be on a mission for the UFC gold. Ladd might just put on a signature performance and earn an early finish over Chiasson.
