Ladd issued a statement on her injury via Instagram, mentioning “I got injured on my last hard day of training last week but still planned on toughing it out and fighting, I didn’t realize quite how bad it was.”
“I’ll know later this week Iif [if] surgery is in my future, but hope to be back in the cage before the end of the year,” Ladd went on to say.
It is not known yet if Ladd’s opponent, McMann, has a replacement opponent.
