Pre-Fight Breakdown: Holm meets Shevchenko in much anticipated battle of the strikers

In this edition of Kobe’s Korner we take a close look at the featured main event for UFC Fight Night “Shevchenko vs Holm”.  The masses are expecting fire works when these two warriors meet.  Shevchenko a 17 time world Muay Thai champ, holds a kick boxing victory over Joanna Jędrzejczyk.  The “preachers daughter” was no slouch herself. Collecting world titles, then going on to  become one of the best female welterweight boxers in the history of the game.

Both accomplished and decorated strikers. However, these two woman are not limited to just stand up. Shevchenko has hit five combined takedowns over the course of her two fights inside the octagon. While Holly Holm has spent an immense amount of time drilling submission defense. The former champ knows she absolutely must limit her mistakes, if she hopes to once again reign queen over the UFC’s woman’s bantamweight division.

What makes this match-up so interesting is that one fighter has everything to lose, the other everything to gain. The video below will provide you with technical pre-fight breakdown, keys to victory and of course my official prediction.  Don’t forget to leave your thoughts below.

My media journey began as a color commentator for the Windsor Express as part of the National Basketball League of Canada. The start of the 2015/16 season,  marked my third year with “Noxtrom Digital Media” and the NBL Canada.  I’m also the Host and co-producer of “NBL Canada Live this Week”, the leagues official podcast.

I am a retired mixed martial arts competitor. I retired with an overall record of 10-7 between amateur MMA, amateur kick boxing and pro MMA.  I received “fight of the night” honors once and posted a 12 second knock out in my amateur career. My mixed martial arts competitive journey didn’t end the way I would have wanted, but life took some tough turns pushing me in another direction. In June of 2015, I launched “Kobes Korner sports & media podcast”.  Since starting this venture, I have found a place as an aspiring MMA analyst.
