Holly Holm looks to take a step closer to regaining the UFC women’s bantamweight title this Saturday, as she takes on contender Ketlen Vieira in a Fight Night main event.

Holm (14-5) has been out of the Octagon for more than 18 months since beating Raquel Pennington, while Vieira has lost two of her last four bouts but was on a 10-fight win streak prior to that run. The Brazilian (12-2) also beat former champion Miesha Tate in November in her most recent outing.

Holm famously claimed bantamweight gold in the UFC by knocking out Ronda Rousey with a head kick in 2015, but the American – who lost the title to Tate the following year – failed to regain the belt against Amanda Nunes in 2019. Holm, 40, has also twice come up short while challenging for the UFC women’s featherweight title.

Thirty-year-old Vieira, meanwhile, is pursuing her first title shot in the promotion.

Here’s all you need to know.
