Holly Holm vs. Valentina Shevchenko: A Head-to-Toe Breakdown


Holly Holm vs. Valentina Shevchenko: A Head-to-Toe Breakdown

UFC on Fox 20 is scheduled for July 23. The event is set to be headlined by a clash between bantamweights Holly Holm and Valentina Shevchenko. 

After capturing the division's title from Ronda Rousey in 2015, Holm relinquished the honor to Miesha Tate in her first attempted defense. The loss was the first of Holm's career, and she'll be looking to get back into the win column with a win over Shevchenko.

For her part, Shevchenko carries a career 12-2 record and has gone 1-1 since joining the UFC. Most recently, she was defeated by current champion Amanda Nunes in a competitive three-round bout.

Both women bring impressive striking credentials to the Octagon, setting up what could be an outstanding stand-up battle. But perhaps one combatant will look to take the other out of her natural element by focusing on takedowns. If so, who will it be, and will she be successful?

Let's take a look at who has the edge in the striking, grappling and submission departments, as well as how the fight might pan out.
