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.
