UFC targeting Germaine de Randamie vs. Aspen Ladd for Sacramento main event

It appears an undefeated prospect will face a former champion in the main event of UFC Sacramento.

Aspen Ladd and Germaine de Randamie have verbally agreed to meet in the bantamweight main event of UFC on ESPN+ 13 at Golden1 Center in Sacramento, Calif., MMA Junkie has learned through a person with knowledge of the situation.

Ladd is currently ranked at No. 3 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie MMA women’s bantamweight rankings, while de Randamie is just behind at No. 4.

Ladd (8-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) is coming off a “Fight of the Night” performance in a unanimous decision over Sijara Eubanks at UFC Rochester. That marked just the second time in eight pro bouts Ladd went the distance.

De Randamie (8-3 MMA, 5-1 UFC) was the first UFC women’s featherweight champion, earning a controversial decision victory over Holly Holm at UFC 208. The Holland native later relinquished the belt and went back to bantamweight, where she defeated Raquel Pennington via unanimous decision at UFC Denver on Nov. 10, which was her fourth straight victory.

The de Randamie-Ladd bout will headline a card which also features the return of UFC Hall of Famer Urijah Faber, who meets Ricky Simon.
