UFC 184‘s main event features the most dominant champion in the UFC today. Ronda Rousey steps back inside the Octagon on Saturday to defend her title against No. 1-ranked contender Cat Zingano.

Zingano earned her title shot with a win over Miesha Tate in April 2013, but injuries and personal tragedies forced her out of action for an extended period of time. In her return, she reclaimed that title shot with a stoppage over Amanda Nunes on September 27, 2014.

Now the bout between the two undefeated fighters is finally set.

Bleacher Report will break down the fight round by round when the referee starts the action. Come back for all the coverage.

UFC women’s 135-pound champion Ronda Rousey takes on No. 1-ranked contender Cat Zingano this Saturday at UFC 184.

The event takes place in Los Angeles and marks the first UFC pay-per-view to feature main and co-main event bouts featuring top female competitors. UFC newcomer Holly Holm will make her debut against Raquel Pennington in the co-main event.

UFC 184 features some of the largest odds you will see this entire year. There may yet be some value on this fight card, but you will have to take some serious risks.

After getting back on track at UFC Fight Night 60, my main card picks took a hit once again during the upset-laden UFC Fight Night 61 card. It moved my main card prediction tally to 17-13 for 2015, so I’m barely keeping my head above the water.

Let’s try to get back on track with a lot of chalk at UFC 184.

Here is who holds the value in Los Angeles.

UFC 184‘s co-main event takes place in the women’s bantamweight division with the debut of a highly touted former boxing champion. Holly Holm steps into the Octagon for the first time and will try to make her mark against Raquel “Rocky” Pennington.

Pennington is currently ranked No. 12 in the official UFC divisional rankings, and without one UFC fight to her credit Holm checks in right behind at No. 13. It is an important fight in the division that could propel the winner into the top 10.

Holm‘s boxing career was highly successful, but MMA is a whole new game. She has a perfect professional record of 7-0. Pennington will be a step up in competition for her and show the world where she currently stands.

Will she justify the hype, or will Pennington derail all the talk of Holm being a potential contender?

This is your UFC 184 co-main event head-to-toe breakdown.
