Ladd on the emotions of her win for the fight card: “The emotions are on top of the world but already in the back of my mind. There’s things I can improve on, there’s a lot to get better at.”

Her thoughts on how the fight went overall: “I came out, started slow, but I could tell she was getting a little bit tired. And I was feeling very fresh. As soon as, between rounds, I started listening to my coaches, taking everything they had to say, everything went according to plan. So I just need to focus a little bit better and listen to them. As soon as I did, the fight was over.”

Aspen Ladd on her excitement with fighting in Poland: “I was extremely excited about (fighting in Poland). I’d never been outside of America. I mean, the time difference was something to get used to, as well as the tiny proportions when you get here. Like, our bathtub looks like a bucket. And the beds are about this big. But I got used to it. And it’s cool seeing a new place. Architecture and everything here is beautiful. People are nice.”

Aspen Ladd on what’s next after winning her UFC debut: “I’ll fight absolutely anybody they give me on any day. So as soon as the UFC is ready, I’m ready to go.”
