If UFC women’s bantamweight Aspen Ladd expected to communicate with Leslie Smith at any point, it was after they exchanged punches at UFC Fight Night 128. The undefeated Ladd (6-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) makes a point to not converse with the person she’s about to fight. But for Smith (10-7-1 MMA, 4-3 UFC), there was a pressing issue that just couldn’t wait. As she did with every fighter on the UFC roster, Smith sent Ladd a direct message on Twitter, urging her to sign an authorization card that would go toward the 150 or so she needs to move forward with Project Spearhead, an effort to unionize fighters.
