UFC Fight Night 155 Results: Undefeated fighter gets controversially knocked out in 16 seconds

#5. Aspen Ladd vs. Germaine De Randamie Women's Bantamweight)

De Randamie vs. Ladd.

UFC Fight Night 155 ended with a short yet brutal upset as Germaine De Randamie knocked out Aspen Ladd in just 16 seconds in the main event.

Ladd stuck to her usual gameplan of being the aggressor from the get-go with the aim to take the fight to the ground. However, De Randamie was prepared for the onslaught and connected with a solid right cross. Ladd's knees gave up and Herb Dean stepped in to stop the fight even before De Randamie could follow up with some ground and pound.

Result: Germaine De Randamie def. Aspen Ladd via TKO (Punch) (0:16, Round One)

Herb Dean's early stoppage has come under heavy criticism in the aftermath of the fight as Ladd seemed conscious right after the fight was ended.

De Randamie, who is recognized as the first-ever UFC Women's Featherweight Champion, said that it was a good call from Dean. Of course, she did. The Iron Lady brought up her fifth straight win while this was Aspen Ladd's first pro-MMA loss. A tough one to digest for the highly-rated 24-year-old considering the questionable stoppage.

Nonetheless, De Randamie vs. Nunes now seems like the logical fight to book for the 135lbs strap.

Aspen Ladd was ready to get back up and fight. She was stunned but was ready to keep fighting. Herb Dean is an idiot. #FireHerbDean #UFCSacremento @UFC pic.twitter.com/PDucWWPcCN
