Ladd posted on Instagram: "Fight is off. It's all my fault. It was all my fault. This cut made my period miserable and I immediately started my period two days ago.
"I did my best, got 137. The scale situation was terrible because I didn't want to be seen bleeding in front of the media.
"The fight was not pulled. My opponent decided that she didn't want to go ahead with it. It is her right.
"I'm going get slammed regardless, so let's start."
