A bantamweight bout between Sara McMann & Aspen Ladd was rescheduled to the UFC Vegas 60 event, which is scheduled for Sept. 17 in Las Vegas.
Multiple people who were aware of the plans for the promotion confirmed that the information was received by MMA Fighting. Both athletes have signed agreements.
The fight was originally scheduled at the upcoming UFC San Diego card but Ladd tested positive for COVID and the matchup with McMann was pulled from the event.
The UFC decided to rebook this fight at a later time, rather than searching for a replacement.
Coming off a win over Karol Rosa in her most recent outing, McMann will seek to make it two in a row when she returns in September as the one-time UFC title challenger seeks to work her way back up the rankings at 135 pounds.
Meanwhile, Ladd is looking to stop a two-fight skid after she dropped back-to-back bouts to Norma Dumont and Raquel Pennington, which dropped her record to 1-3 in her past four fights.
The upcoming UFC Vegas 60 card will be headlined by a bantamweight showcase as Cory Sandhagen meets Song Yadong in the five-round main event.
