BetUS.com lists Holm as the -260 favorite for the main event, with Vieira as a +200 underdog. In the co-headliner, Pereira is favored at -140, with Ponzinibbio coming back at +110.

Holm, now 40, enters the Octagon on the heels of back-to-back victories over Raquel Pennington and Irene Aldana. However, she has not set foot inside the cage since she took a unanimous decision from Aldana in the UFC on ESPN 16 marquee attraction on Oct. 3, 2020—595 days ago. All five of Holm’s losses have come to current or former champions: Amanda Nunes, Cristiane Justino, Germaine de Randamie, Valentina Shevchenko and Miesha Tate.
Viera has alternated wins and losses in each of her past four outings after starting her pro career with 10 straight wins. The 30-year-old Nova Uniao rep last competed at UFC Fight Night 198, where she took a five-round unanimous decision from the aforementioned Tate in the main event.

The rest of the main draw features a women’s strawweight clash pitting former Jungle Fight titleholder Polyana Viana against Tabatha Ricci and a pair of middleweight tilts, as Dana White’s Contender Series graduate Chidi Njokuani faces Dusko Todorovic and onetime Legacy Fighting Alliance titlist Eryk Anders meets Jun Yong Park.
