Ronda Rousey is set to return to the octagon Friday night in one of the most-anticipated fights of 2016. The biggest female fighter of all time headlines UFC 207 in Las Vegas, looking to reclaim the women’s bantamweight title from Amanda Nunes.

It’s been nearly 14 months since Rousey’s last fight. The former unbeaten champion was stunned in a second-round knockout on Nov. 15, 2015, dropping her belt to Holly Holm at UFC 193. The title has since changed hands two more times, with the latest coming at UFC 200 on July 9 when Nunes needed less than four minutes to submit Miesha Tate.

Rousey enters Friday’s fight in an unfamiliar position. Usually the heavy favorite (Rousey had -2000 betting odds ahead of her fight with Holm), the UFC 207 main event is nearly a toss-up. It’s unknown how she will respond in her first ever bout following a loss, especially given her behavior in the build for the upcoming pay-per-view.

It’s no secret that Rousey was greatly affected by her loss to Holm. She’s admitted to contemplating suicide shortly after defeat, and Rousey has largely disappeared from the public eye over the past year. Usually very confident and outspoken ahead of her fights, Rousey hasn’t done any media opportunities to promote UFC 207, and she remained silent at Thursday’s weigh-in.

Both Rousey and Nunes weighed in at exactly 135 pounds. Their fight will headline a card that includes one other championship bout.

The men’s bantamweight championship will be on the line when champion Dominick Cruz faces Cody Garbrandt. T.J. Dillashaw will take on John Lineker in a non-title bantamweight fight.

Cain Velasquez and Fabricio Werdum were supposed to meet in a No.1 contender fight for the heavyweight championship. Velasquez, however, was forced to withdraw from the card because of an injury.

Below is a look at the entire main card for UFC 207, including betting odds and predictions for each fight. All odds are courtesy of Bovada.lv.

Women’s Bantamweight Championship: Amanda Nunes (+125) vs. Ronda Rousey (-155)

Despite her loss, Rousey is still the best fighter the 135-pound division has to offer. She tried to stand up with Holm at UFC 193 and failed, falling victim to her opponent’s strength. But the arrogance that seemingly led Rousey to believe she could outstrike a former professional boxer doesn’t seem to be there this time around. Look for the former champ to utilize her ground game against Nunes and win back the belt that she held for three straight years.

Prediction: Rousey by submission

Men’s Bantamweight Championship: Dominick Cruz (-225) vs. Cody Garbrandt (+175)

Garbrandt has recorded nine of his 10 wins by knockout, but it isn’t likely that he’ll be able to stop Cruz. Cruz is undefeated in UFC with four of his five victories coming by decision, and the challenger doesn’t have what it takes to win a 25-minute fight with the champion.

Prediction: Cruz by unanimous decision

Bantamweight: T.J. Dillashaw (-205) vs. John Lineker (+165)

If there’s going to be an upset Friday night, it could come in the non-championship bantamweight title fight. Dillashaw might win in a decision, but Lineker could end the bout with one of the power punches that has helped him win six consecutive fights. Lineker was able to absorb 120 strikes on his way to a controversial victory in October, and he’ll have a chance to knockout Dillashaw if he can withstand the 135-pounder’s shots for a few rounds.

Prediction: Lineker by TKO

Welterweight: Dong Hyun Kim (-150) vs. Tarec Saffiedine (+120)

As UFC’s No.9 ranked welterweight, Kim has the advantage over Saffiedine. His only loss in his last seven fights came against current champion Tyron Woodley, and Kim has a good chance to get his fourth win by knockout in the last three years.

Prediction: Kim by TKO

Flyweight: Louis Smolka (+115) vs. Ray Borg (-145)

Smolka is still taking the fight, even though Borg weighed in at 129.5 pounds for the 125-pound weight bout. He might have a hard time winning the fight, but at least Smolka will get 30 percent of Borg’s purse.

Prediction: Borg by unanimous decision
