She's a natural flyweight, for sure, but Holm's bigger than Nunes. I know she lost to Nunes once before, but that was only three rounds. Shevchenko clearly won the third round and seemed to be gaining momentum. Over a five-round fight, I think she has an advantage. All opinion, of course, and we'll have to see but Shevchenko's a very smart fighter, doesn't get rattled and is very strong for her size.

Here she is out-muscling the much larger Jan Finney:
