The gloves are coming off once again for Aspen Ladd.
Ladd, a former UFC and PFL fighter, will give it a second go in bareknuckle boxing when she makes her BKB debut. The promotion on Tuesday announced that Ladd is set to meet Bianca Daimoni at BKB 58 on Aug. 29 from James L. Knight Center in Miami.
Ladd, 31, first tried her hand at bareknuckle in BKFC last November when she knocked out Shyanna Bintliff in the first round at BKFC 84.
Ladd's move to bareknuckle came 15 months after her most recent MMA fight in the PFL, a unanimous decision win over Ekaterina Shakalova at Bellator Champions Series 2 in May 2024.
Ladd spent five years in the UFC and competed seven times in the octagon, going 4-3 during her tenure.

A journalist suggests that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might need a fresh reset after a string of setbacks in Hollywood. He also noted that Meghan may have been disappointed by the lack of public engagements in their UK visit. He further touched on the Sussexes' financial situation, their Hollywood struggles, and the debatable aftermath of the reunion.
Journalist Nelson Aspen, along with Will Kingston, discussed the Sussexes' Hollywood struggles and how they need a major rebranding effort. Aspen alleged that Meghan Markle could have been "sad" as her return to the UK was not captured publicly.
He said, "However, she said she would let Harry lead the way and she was very supportive of him, and I think it's wonderful that your king somehow managed to wait them out and play them like a fiddle." He further mentioned that the couple does need a "reinvention" as they struggle to keep their footing in Hollywood.
Aspen noted that Prince Harry is likely trying to get back into the royal family's good graces. The expert added that the reunion was the perfect opportunity to take a step in that direction. Kingston argued that both Sussexes constantly attempt to reinvent themselves publicly through various projects. Those efforts, however, appear to fail repeatedly.
He claimed that "neither of them has a great deal of talent" required to sustain long-term success in the industry. However, he believes that the Invictus Games do contribute slightly positively to their rebranding. Aspen then pointed out Harry's financial difficulties with the Invictus Games. He noted how several people want him removed from it.

Nearly three out of four households in the U.S. fall short of having "essential wealth," or enough money to weather financial shocks; support their families' physical and mental health; and access such opportunities as education, homeownership and retirement savings that can build even more wealth over time, according to a new report by the Aspen Institute.
While many workers focus on their salaries, achieving financial well-being requires another "cushion that income alone cannot provide" — it requires wealth, including savings, investments and other ***** ets, according to the report.

Aspen Standard Wealth, a New York-based holding company that takes majority stakes in registered investment advisors, has acquired a wealth manager based in Kalamazoo, Mich., managing $1.3 billion in client ***** ets across the United States.
CWS Financial Advisors, which dates back to 1983, will join the Aspen platform while maintaining its fee-only, RIA structure, the firms announced Tuesday. The 10-person RIA is led by Principal and co-owner Joe Splendorio, a former Wells Fargo advisor who joined CWS in 2014, according to BrokerCheck.

Aspen was founded by CEO Aly Kassim-Lakha, a former hedge fund manager, and is backed by private equity firm Alpine Investors. Aspen takes a majority stake in RIAs, with those RIA owners getting a minority stake in the Aspen holding company.

Katie Couric revealed this week that she experienced an episode of Transient Global Amnesia in June, which first prompted the prolific journalist's family to believe she was having a stroke.
"There was nothing all that unusual about that Saturday morning. John went to work out, so I walked into town from his parents' condo in Aspen to go to the weekly farmer's market and get some iced coffee," Couric wrote in a Substack post, ******* led "A Day I'll Never Remember," published July 6. "I bought some beautiful peaches and nectarines, a big bag of kettle corn and a cute straw hat I really didn't need. I headed back, ate a bowl of cereal with one of the peaches, and got dressed for an afternoon at the Aspen Ideas Festival. I decided to wear a white linen suit, a navy and white knit sleeveless shirt, and my new hat. John drove with me to the campus of the Aspen Institute and was excited to go to the hot dog stand for lunch. (They're really good hot dogs!) That's the last thing I remember."

PUEBLO, Colo. (AP) — A wildfire burning southwest of Denver has forced the evacuation of thousands of residents and destroyed more than 160 structures by Friday as erratic winds pushed the blaze across two Colorado counties.
The Aspen Acres fire is one of about 40 uncontained large blazes burning mostly in the West, fueled by months of dry weather and a record lack of snow this past winter in some places.
Fire personnel were scooping water from the Pueblo Reservoir to fight Aspen Acres fire, which expanded overnight by 17 square miles (44 square kilometers) which brought it up to nearly 105 square miles (272 square kilometers) by Friday with zero containment.
All of Colorado City, an unincorporated community of about 2,200, was ordered evacuated as well as the towns of Beulah, Rye and San Isabel, according to the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office.
About 50 National Guard soldiers were being sent in Friday to help with staffing checkpoints on roads in Custer and Pueblo counties.
