Preview: UFC on Fox 20 ‘Holm vs. Shevchenko’

Holly Holm will find her way back to the Octagon a little more than four months after she relinquished the Ultimate Fighting Championship bantamweight crown.

Holm meets Kyrgyzstani muay Thai ace Valentina Shevchenko in the UFC on Fox 20 main event on Saturday at the United Center in Chicago, their five-round battle carrying with it potential title implications at 135 pounds. In the lightweight co-headliner, former Strikeforce champion Gilbert Melendez takes on the notoriously dangerous Edson Barboza. The rest of the four-fight main card features a heavyweight clash pitting Francis Ngannou against Bojan Mihajlovic and a women’s strawweight tilt pairing Felice Herrig with Kailin Curran.
