Stephanie Han vs. Holly Holm: Prediction
My prediction is a unanimous decision win for Han over Holm, primarily because of the substantial speed difference and the fact that Holm will go down in weight for this fight.
Despite Han getting dropped in her previous fight, Holm still doesn’t have the speed to catch the defending champion with a counter during exchanges. Also, based on her comeback fight against Yolanda Vega, Holm is now a step slower.
The only route that I see for Holm to pull off an upset against Han is to make the fight dirty, pull her close to distance, and force her to fight in a tight range. However, I don’t think it will happen because Han prefers to fight at range and will likely use her speed advantage.
