Aspen Ladd on her primal screams: “It’s a very primal moment. You’re in there with somebody who, if you think about it, they want to take everything that you’re working for, everything that you’ve been suffering for and training for your entire life. They’re trying to take it from you. It’s a very primal moment. It’s not really something you think about. It just happens.”

Ladd on being ready for what’s next: “Mentally, I’m ready for any fight they present. But I’m here for the long haul. I’m not chasing, OK, give me the champion, that kind of thing. I’m here to fight. I’m here to get as many wins as possible. I’m here to fight the toughest women in the world. I’m not after the belt necessarily. If they shove it at me, sure, I’ll fight for it.”
