The Krakow Chronicle reported last night that Lina Lansberg vs Aspen Ladd has been added to UFC Fight Night 118 Oct. 21 at the Ergo Arena in Gdansk, Poland. This show will air on Fox Sports 1 in the US and TSN in Canada. I expect this fight to air on the UFC Fight Pass prelims. Lina is 35 years old from Malmo, Sweden. Her record is 7-2. In Europe she is known as a kickboxer. That's why her nickname is Elbow Princess. The way she got into the UFC is she was willing to take a beating from Cris Cyborg. Then she won over late replacement Lucie Pudilova in March. I was not impressed with either fighter. Lina was supposed to fight Leslie Smith in July but she dropped out due to injury. I don't think Lina belongs in the UFC. Aspen was supposed to make her UFC debut in July vs Jessica Eye but Aspen got sick during fight week. She's 5-0 and I was very impressed with her Invicta fights. She trains at MMA Gold in El Dorado Hills, CA which is becoming a really good gym for female fighters. Invicta's Yaya Rincon also trains there. Aspen should be the favourite.
