I've made some comments about this already.
I agree that the fight was stopped early but I feel okay about it as I have been following both fighters and know their skills. Aspen Ladd wasn't going anywhere and Lina Lansberg wasn't getting out from under her. (Edit. And the screaming. Yeah. Ladd is normally so stoic when she fights.)
Lansberg's takedown defense and overall ground game has always been a comparative hole in her MMA skillset. She is improving but she is not very strong there. Her first pro MMA bout was with Pannie Kianzad, at featherweight, in which (Kianzad) dominated with wrestling and grinding. Expected as Lansberg's strong suit is MT and striking in general. I did feel Lansberg was pretty decent even in that loss and have been keeping an eye on her career ever since.
Aspen Ladd is more well rounded then Lansberg. She still isn't as good as some people, particularly in striking, but she is fairly serviceable. And durable. Ladd started fighting MMA as an ammy at a young age, about 18, mostly at flyweight.
Ladd has grown up a bit and, after having a tough time making weight for one of her fights, ask Invicta if she could move up and fight at a higher weight class*.
Ladd's pro debut was against Ana Carolina Vidal at flyweight who has excellent bjj credentials.

Ladd crushed her.
Ladd would run over Amanda Cooper at flyweight and defeat Kelly McGill at bantamweight, Ladd was a late replacement for Amber Lynn Orr for this later fight.
Next Ladd fought Jessica Hoy who has a mixed background in MT and Wrestling/Grappling. Not the credentials of Vidal but decent. Hoy also fought at lightweight prior to trying to fight at bantamweight in Invicta, first round was competitive but later Hoy gassed in the second round. (Another topic.) ( (Edit.) I recall Ladd came in overweight in this fight during the weigh in. 138.1lbs)**
There is a video on YouTube of Hoy in grappling, a man. 812K views.
Another vid from the same event.
Ladd would next fight Sijara Eubanks in Invicta. Eubanks is another high level grappler.

Ladd put Sijara on the ground and controlled her in round three after they had been trading punches and kicks and later Ladd preventing Sijara's takedown attempts.
*(At the same time Sijara Eubanks, her planned opponent at that time, also asked about fighting up at bantamweight due to her poor weight cut, and loss, against Katlyn Chookagian. Eubanks first pro fight was supposed to be flyweight but her opponent withdrew and the fight was set at bantamweight with a new opponent.)
