It also sounds like this'll be the main event.

Interesting. I'll be rooting for Shevchenko, but I think Holm's size will be too much for her.

Nah. That would be Gus getting a title shot after getting blown out in 1 rd by AJ

Well at least Holly got a fight booked. This is actually a tough fight but she should win.

Seems like a big step down for Holm.

If Shevchenko ups her activity levels and doesn't purely look to counter this could be a decent striking match-up. On paper she's more or less on par if not slightly better than Holm when it comes to pure kickboxing.

Interesting matchup with potential to be entertaining. Holly should take it with her experience, but Valentina has great striking too.

Fight is cool, not as a main event though. Especially over Rumble-Glover. UFC trying hard to cash in on Hollys residual fame off the Ronda win

Man IDK, Holly seems like the easy pick here but I really feel like schevchenko is gonna get the UD here.
