10 UFC Fights That You Cannot Miss In May

7. Aspen Ladd Vs. Sijara Eubanks - UFC Fight Night 151

There's been a lot of talk about the potential of Aspen Ladd ever since she made her MMA debut back in 2015. The California native has absolutely destroyed every opponent that has been put in front of her in devastating fashion.

Just take a look at her last opponent, Tonya Evinger. Evinger is an incredibly tough veteran who has fought the likes of Cris Cyborg, Sara McMann and Alexis Davis in her lengthy career. She should've been an extremely difficult opponent for Ladd, but was completely blown out of the water by her. It's rare to see such a one-sided shellacking, but that's what happened during their bout.

Much like Ladd, her opponent, Sijara Eubanks, has also shown a lot of promise since her amateur days. She's got fantastic grappling skills and is a legit Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt. Despite her talent, she's had ongoing issues regarding which weight class she should be in. Now that she's decided to go up and fight at 135lb, we could finally see the best of her.

It's worth noting Ladd and Eubanks have already fought each other before, with Ladd coming out on top in a unanimous decision victory. However, both of them have grown significantly since their first fight, so expect a more competitive battle this time around.
