“Amanda doesn’t have many flaws and that’s why she’s champion. There are some things that, perhaps, she can improve, but she is so dominant, so good at what she does, that it feels like we are facing a monster. It's exciting when that happens. Such a dominant champion has no flaws, and even if he did, no one has managed to exploit it. Honestly, I would love to face Amanda, but if she retires before I get back, that's okay, I can fight another girl. Now, she is number one and fighters should challenge her,” said Ladd.
