Controversy aside, Nicco Montano will forever be recorded as the UFC’s first ever women’s flyweight champion. The asterisk next to that fact is from Montano being unable to defend her championship due to injury and, in the case of her most recent booking against Valentina Shevchenko last September, severe weight-cutting issues. After being stripped, Nicco […]

UFC president Dana White is certainly not one to shy away from angry fans on social media.
It was recently announced that women’s bantamweight Germaine de Randamie would face Aspen Ladd in the main event of UFC Sacramento which takes place July 13.
When White posted the news of the fight on his Instagram, he was soon bombarded with comments from fans angry at the lack of a high-profile main event. Others complained about the overall strength of the card as well.
One fan in particular wrote: “This card [is] trash. Sacramento fans deserve better, man.” To which White had one simple bit of advice to not only him, but any other unhappy fan: “Stay home f*ck face.”
When another fan responded to White calling him “classy as always,” the UFC president responded with a middle finger emoji accompanied by “yes sir.”
While De Randamie vs. Ladd is not a high-profile main event, it’s still a bout between two highly-ranked contenders.
It’s also unfair to call the entire card bad when there are some interesting ranked bouts taking place. Not to mention, the return of bantamweight legend in Sacramento’s own Urijah Faber.
It looks like a women’s bantamweight bout is being finalized for the main event of UFC Sacramento. According to a report from MMA Junkie, subsequently confirmed by ESPN, former UFC women’s featherweight champion Germaine de Randamie will be facing off against Aspen Ladd. The show goes down from Sacramento, California on July 13. It already […]
