For the first time since October 2020, Holm walks to the octagon. Last time out, she won by majority decision against Irene Aldana, her second consecutive victory after a first-round KO/TKO defeat to Amanda Nunes in a championship battle at UFC 239. Four of Holm’s previous five fights have gone the distance, and she has won the last three by unanimous decision.
The 30-year-old Vieira, often known as “Fenomeno,” has won and lost her previous five fights. Her previous three bouts have all resulted in a unanimous decision, with two victories and one defeat. Last November, she outperformed Miesha Tate.

UFC Fight Night 206 Holm vs. Vieira picks and predictions
Records: Holm (14-5-0) | Vieira (12-2-0)
Fight result (2-way line or money line)
Holm, often known as “The Preacher’s Daughter,” should be eligible to return to the ring with a win against Vieira (-260). If she can amass a few wins, she will be well-positioned for another championship opportunity.
However, risking more than 2.5 times your prospective return is a poor investing strategy.
PASS, and instead focus on the victorious strategy.
Over/Under (O/U)
HOLM ON POINTS (-113) is a much more economical play.
Four of her past five fights and six of her previous eight have ended in a draw. It has taken the judges three times to decide a winner for Vieira in her previous three bouts, and six of her eight fights since she debuted at UFC level have gone the distance.
It’s a safe bet that this fight will end in a draw, but betting No (-260): The cost of a long-distance fight here is simply too high.
