Holm comes into this fight as the +350 underdog with Nunez a fairly pricey -420 favorite. More competitive odds can be found on whether the fight goes the distance and the method of victory.
Nunes is fighting for the first time since she became a two-division champion with her stunning 51-second knockout of Cris “Cyborg” Justino. Although Holm has lost four of her last six fights, she got this title shot on the strength of her talent and the fame that still lingers from her shocking upset of Ronda Rousey nearly four years ago.

Holm was a professional boxer for years, but Nunes is a formidable puncher who easily dispatched the aggressive Cyborg. Holm isn’t likely to wade into an immediate brawl, as Cyborg did, and her kickboxing acumen is likely to force Nunes to be more patient.
But Nunes has shown the discipline and mental toughness to stick to a game plan, and Holm will be forced to be resourceful.
“I’m ready for anything she can bring to me,” Nunes said. “We’ve studied her, but more important, I know what I need to do. I’ve been here before.”
