This will be Ladd’s first main event. She takes on de Randamie, a former UFC featherweight champion who is unbeaten in her last four fights. Meanwhile, Faber fights for the first time since announcing his retirement back in December 2016, and he’ll look to stall the rise of Simon, who is undefeated in the UFC so far.
UFC Sacramento takes place on July 13 at Golden 1 Center and the main card will air live on ESPN+. See the updated lineup below (final bout order to be determined):
