Aspen Ladd has missed weight on three occasions during her tumultuous UFC career. Ladd's weight misses have led to many of her bouts being scrapped at the last moment.
The 27-year-old first faltered on the weighing scale at UFC Fight Night 128 in 2017. She came in at 137.8 pounds, missing the bantamweight limit by 1.8 pounds.

The bout was scrapped after Ladd's opponent Leslie Smith refused to fight at catchweight. She missed weight again at UFC Vegas 38 when she came in at 137 pounds, just one pound above the limit.

Interestingly, Aspen Ladd had trouble with the weighing scale well before joining the UFC. In 2016, she came in 2.1 pounds above the official weight limit for her Invicta FC 18 bout against Jessica Hoy.
Even when she did successfully make weight in the UFC, she was visibly drained and trembling on the scales. During her weigh-in for her UFC Fight Night 155 bout against Germaine de Randamie, Ladd was seen wincing and struggling while on the scale.

Aspen Ladd gets cut from the UFC roster
It looks like Aspen Ladd will be yet another what-if story in MMA. Likely owing to her constant struggles with the scale, the UFC has released the 27-year-old American. Her UFC record stands at 4-3 and she will enter free agency with an overall record of 9-3.
During the post-fight press conference of Dana White's Contender Series season 6 week 10, Dana White commented on Ladd's release. White stated that even though Ladd is a talented fighter, her inability to make weight cost her her spot on the roster:
"It's never fun [to cut a fighter from the roster]. When somebody who is actually talented, she is a talented fighter. But part of the job is making weight. I mean, she's not made weight so many times, it had to happen."
