Holm Must Win Title Again To Be More
Than Just “The Fighter Who Beat Rousey”
Article By: Jay Anderson
Holly Holm returns to action this week-
end for the first time since a late round
loss to Miesha Tate earlier this year
which saw her lose the title she had won
so spectacularly against Ronda Rousey
last November at UFC 193. At UFC on
Fox 20 Saturday night, she’ll be taking
on the relatively unheralded Valentina
Shevchenko in the main event of the eve-
ning. On paper, it’s a mismatch. In reality,
it’s just a way to put a big name fighter
back in title contention. Matchmaking
101. If an upset happens, it’s the talk of
the town. If it goes down as expected,
you have a major player back in the mix.
