The showdown served as the main event of the UFC Vegas 40 event on Saturday night (October 16, 2021) from Las Vegas, Nevada at the UFC Apex facility.

As seen in the fight, Ladd was trying to counterstrike throughout. There wasn’t a lot of action as Dumont kept picking her shots and moving forward while Ladd didn’t do anything through the first two rounds. Ladd did go for a takedown in the third round yet Dumont stuffed it. Dumont did get a takedown in the fourth round, but Dumont scrambled on top to get in some strikes. They clinched to end the fight. Dumont was in clear control of the entire fight from the feet to the ground to the aggression and output. The judges gave the win to Dumont.

For Durmont, after she was KO’d by Meagan Anderson at UFC Norfolk in February 2020. she rebounded with back-to-back decision wins over Ashlee Evans-Smith in November 2020 and Felicia Spencer in May 2021. On the flip side, Ladd had gone even by losing to Germaine de Randamie at the UFC Sacramento, but came back with a TKO win over Yana Kunitskaya at UFC Washington in December 2019.

She woulda done that without him it’s who she is. He will take credit for her win but never for her loss. Trust me she can only take so much of this abuse before it breaks her spirit. https://t.co/hDx7g9aDoU

Just do your ground and pound but on the feet

I get what Ladd's coach is saying but maybe something tactical to help her out. Because right now the issue is the jab is taking the fight out of her. #UFCVegas40
