After joining the UFC roster from Season 28 of “The Ultimate Fighter” reality series, Letson (5-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) has been sidelined with a bevy of health issues, including hypothyroidism, which prevented her from competing and even training, really. Letson, 29, said she followed the directives of her doctors and incrementally worked her way back into fighting shape for the first time since November 2018. Now she’s back and is set to meet Felicia Spencer (8-3 MMA, 2-3 UFC) in a women’s featherweight matchup on the upcoming card at the UFC Apex, which streams on ESPN+
