Holly Holm's Next Fight


Holly Holm lost her bantamweight championship to Miesha Tate at UFC 196, in an upset that surprised most MMA fans.  It appeared Holm was on track for a decision victory over Tate during the five round bout, but a mistake late in the final five minutes cost her dearly.

Holly will now return to action in July when she faces Valentina Shevchenko in the main event of the upcoming FOX UFC Fight Night in Chicago. Holly will be looking to re-enter title contention, to score a rematch with Miesha Tate for the title.

Shevchenko on the other hand will look to rise through the ranks in her career, with a victory over the former champion. Shevchenko (12-2) is 1-1 in the UFC and coming off a decision loss to Nunes in March. She is a former Muay Thai champion.

Holly Holm should enter this fight as the favourite and with a win should become the number 1 contender once again. The Chicago event will also feature Anthony “Rumble” Johnson against Glover Teixeira as well as Edson Barboza facing Gilbert Melendez in a lightweight matchup.
