“My goal is to be in the UFC this year, so if they call, I’m going,” Ladd told . “My wish list is for my next fight to be in the UFC. It’s another step, and it’s another huge step, but for my entire career, from my first amateur fight, one little step at a time, keep on going. And I believe that is the next step now.”

Ladd kn🅰ows that she won’t be handed the top ranked opponents when she gets to the UFC, but she’s willing to put the work in.

“For me it’s just probably going to be an up-and-comer type deal,” Ladd said. “It’s like, fine, I’m sure they’ll start me all – I don’t think I’m getting anywhere near the top 10 unless I take a short-notice fight. I plan on working my way up, and by the time I get to whatever level, (fight) whoever is the champ at the time. Who knows? I have no idea who it’s going to be. Nobody does. But there’ll be a time years from now where I want to fight the champ in the UFC.”

Ladd hasn’t competed since Invicta FC 21, where s🎐he 🀅defeated Sijara Eubanks by unanimous decision.
