Aspen Ladd ’s appeal of her UFC on ESPN+ 13 loss to Germaine de Randamie was denied Tuesday by the California State Athletic Commission. Ladd (8-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) lost via 16-second TKO to the former UFC featherweight champion in the bantamweight main event of the July 13 card Sacramento, Calif., marking her first career defeat. The stoppage by respected veteran referee Herb Dean was considered by many to be premature. Ladd went a step farther in her complaint before the commission during Tuesday’s meeting in downtown Los Angeles, claiming gender discrimination factored into the decision to wave off the fight, implying Dean would have let the bout continue if it was a men’s matchup
