Aspen Ladd wants to put Kayla Harrison’s confidence to the test after first PFL loss

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Aspen Ladd’s first season in the PFL may not have resulted in a trip to the playoffs, but she’s got a huge opportunity, regardless.

Ladd (11-4) takes on two-time PFL $1 million season winner Kayla Harrison (15-1) on Friday at the 2023 PFL Championship in a featured 150-pound contract weight bout on pay-per-view. Because Harrison is coming off the first loss of her career in the 2022 final, Ladd hopes she can rattle her and put her confidence on the ropes.

Ladd spoke to MMA Junkie following Thursday’s ceremonial weigh-ins. Check out the interview in the video above.

The 2023 PFL Championship event takes place Friday at The Anthem in Washington, D.C. The main card airs on pay-per-view (ESPN+) following prelims on ESPN+.
