Former UFC bantamweight champion Holly Holm (pictured) makes her first appearance Saturday since losing her title to Miesha Tate in March.
While Holm faces little known Valentina Shevchenko in UFC on FOX 20’s main event, a victory is critical for Holm if she hopes to reclaim the throne in what appears to be a wide open division.
Holm is more than a 2-1 odds-on favorite to bounce back from the only defeat in her MMA career. Shevchenko, who looked impressive at yesterday’s open workouts (for whatever that’s worth), checks in as a +175 underdog.
UFC on FOX 20 goes down inside United Center in Chicago, Illinois.
