Octagon appearances. Most recenty, the South Carolina native
outpointed Karol Rosa

The 27-year-old Ladd has fallen on hard times of late with losses
in three of her last four promotional outings. The MMAGold Fight
Team member is coming off a decision loss to Raquel
Pennington at UFC 273 on April 9.
Silva, a former M-1 Global champion, saw a seven-fight professional
winning streak come to an end at UFC Fight Night 203, where he fell
to Alex

three UFC bouts via knockout or technical knockout.
Meerschaert had a three-bout sinning streak snapped in his last
outing at UFC on ESPN 35, where he dropped a unanimous verdict
against Krzysztof
Jotko. “GME” had submitted his previous three Octagon
opponents.
