Leslie Smith was set to fight Aspen Ladd at UFC Fight Night: Atlantic City, but after Ladd missed weight, disaster struck. Smith, fighting on the last bout of her contract, tried to negotiate for another deal. The UFC indicated they didn’t want her services anymore, but were willing to pay her the full amount of her purse. In this interview from my radio show, Smith explains why she didn’t take the fight against Ladd, what her release means for her unionization effort known as Project Spearhead and more.

Ufc has enough money to buy someone out of their contracts but not enough to pay their win bonus when they dont fight due to their opponents dropping out
PLEASE FIGHTERS, PUT A UNION OR ASSOCIATION TOGETHER.
This story isn't over.
you can't fix stupid
Fighters that don't want to fight lol
Damn. Luke tapped to tears. As soon as she started crying, Luke was out!
You got 100 percent of NOTHING! I'd like 20 bucks on pump nine please.
lol oh my, the way Luke makes her cry and then gives the peace out…tut tut
Hard to leverage anything when you're not a top contender at the least. Plus having a combative relationship against the UFC. This was inevitable. Large crops of fans dont even like womens mma (i like it) then add most not even knowing who tf she is. she had no power or leverage to be combative. Kinda sucks but she poked the bear
I love when women put other women down fucking hilarious.
