Shields is a heavy favorite and has home field advantage, but this really is as good a fight as she can make at 154, too. Shields has been so much better than her competition that she really is sort of running out of things to do in boxing at age 25, and it’s no wonder she’s looking to give MMA a try later this year.
The rest of the PPV card is what it is, basically. Danielle Perkins and Monika Harrison met in Salita Promotions’ one UFC Fight Pass show last year, and they’re fighting each other again because there are a whopping 13 women’s heavyweights in the world. Marlen Esparza is on the card facing Shelly Barnett, and Jamie Mitchell takes on Noemi Bosques, who is better than her record and has faced a lot of top women’s boxing names.
