It’s a question that Holm might have to face as she gears up for former title challenger Bethe Correia in the main event of UFC Fight Night 111. Fortunately for Holm, it appears to be a very winnable fight – according to the oddsmakers anyway. The rest of this Saturday night card is surprisingly good for a Fight. Cory Sandhagen (13-2-0) bounced back from his stunning first-round loss to Aljamain Sterling at UFC 250 with an impressive knockout win over Marlon Moraes at UFC Fight Night 179 in October. Sandhagen is now 8-1 over his last nine fights, including a 6-1 record in the UFC. Warmup at UFC 111 - the night's big stars acclimate to the Octagon 40:30. 10 years 11 months ago.

Jairzinho Rozenstruik
Introduction, Background and UFC Career
Jairzinho Rozenstruik is a problem for anyone that has the balls to get in the cage with him. The Surinamese fighter began training in kickboxing at age 17 and he turned pro shortly after. Rozenstruik found success immediately and while has just 12 professional MMA fights, he has seen and done it all as a kickboxer, with 76 wins (64 via stoppage) in 84 fights.
'Bigi Boy' made his MMA debut in 2012, looking to dominate the scene and he went 6-0 in various regional promotions before the UFC noticed and signed him to a multi-fight contract. Rozenstruik beat Junior Albini via TKO in his debut with the promotion at UFC Fight Night 144 on February 2nd, 2019 and he's 5-1 since. Rozenstruik's five UFC wins were via knockout and he’s finished three of his opponents in less than one minute. In his last fight, he stopped former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos in the second round at UFC 252 on August 15th.

Ciryl Gane
Introduction, Background and UFC Career
Ciryl Gane has a small professional MMA record of 7-0 (4-0 in the UFC) but he's a familiar name for Muay Thai fans. A former champion in that discipline, the French went a perfect 7-0 in Muay Thai before transitioning into MMA and he's used to competing at the highest level throughout his career.
A former TKO heavyweight champion, Gane has six wins by either KO/TKO or submission in his career. Tanner Boser at UFC Fight Night 165 on December 21st, 2019 was the only person able to take Gane to the judge's scorecards. Gane last fought at UFC 256 on December 12th, stopping former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos in the second round.

Prediction
Ufc Fight Night Odds Picks
Rozenstruik is not afraid to get hit once to give back two. His counterpunching will be important in this fight. Gane has confidently pieced apart all his opponents, transitioning into MMA with style and it's hard to deny him the victory until he shows a weakness. Still, Rozenstruik can drop a perfect left hand on Gane's chin and end the fight at any time.
Don't sleep on Gane's ground game, three of his six career stoppages were via submission and he can surprise us on Saturday. This is his first five-round fight and as seen with Rozenstruik against Overeem, he can finish any fight late. This should be a fun fight but I doubt it goes the distance.
