The bantamweight bout will no longer feature on the card owing to Ladd missing weight by two pounds.

"Wait, why didn’t the UFC shuffle the entire card like they did for Khamzat? [wink emoji]" Check out the tweet below: what up foo@what_up_foo@MMAFighting Wait, why didn’t the UFC shuffle the entire card like they did for Khamzat? 7@MMAFighting Wait, why didn’t the UFC shuffle the entire card like they did for Khamzat? UFC 279 was set to feature a blockbuster welterweight clash between the newest sensation Khamzat Chimaev and the grizzled veteran on his way out of the promotion, Nate Diaz. However, Chimaev missed weight by a whopping seven-and-a-half pounds and was disallowed from competing in the main event. His failed weight cut led the UFC to shuffle up three other fights as they strived to keep Chimaev on the card. 'Borz' eventually fought Kevin Holland, while Diaz squared up with Tony Ferguson. No such re-shuffle was afforded to Aspen Ladd. Perhaps because the bantamweight is a repeat offender in this regard. Many other fans expressed their disappointment with the American, who is infamous for missing weight.

McMann, who is ranked one position below Ladd at No.8 in the bantamweight division, did not receive the cancelation well. She called out Aspen Ladd for missing weight and equated it to cheating. The 41-year-old took to Instagram to react to the news and wrote in a statement: "What to even say… I’m really disappointed that things went the way they did. I’ve never once missed weight in my career in wrestling or fighting. Missing weight is the equivalent of cheating. You gain such an advantage for every pound that you don’t have to cut. I wish that the promotions and commissions would change the policies so this isn’t even an option at this professional level." Sara McMann blasted fighters who miss weight and expressed her distaste at the advantage it offers. She also called for changes in policy by the respective commissions to clamp down on the unprofessional approach towards weight cutting.
