Former Ultimate Fighting Championship women’s bantamweight titleholder Holly Holm will jump right back into the fire on the heels of her first professional mixed martial arts defeat.

A little more than four months after she was dethroned by a Miesha Tate rear-naked choke, Holm collides with Valentina Shevchenko in the five-round UFC on Fox 20 main event on Saturday at the United Center in Chicago. In the lightweight co-headliner, former Strikeforce champion Gilbert Melendez returns from a PED-related suspension to confront Edson Barboza.

The rest of the four-fight main card features a heavyweight tilt slotting Francis Ngannou opposite Bojan Mihajlovic and a women’s strawweight clash pitting Felice Herrig against Kailin Curran.
