UFC women's flyweight Shana Dobson earned the biggest upset in the promotion since Holly Holm's shocking win over Ronda Rousey in 2015, according to ESPN Stats & Info.

Dobson stopped rising prospect Mariya Agapova via second-round TKO during Saturday's UFC Fight Night at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. She was reportedly a +800 underdog, while Holm closed at +870 against Rousey at UFC 193.

Dobson's win will go down as one of the biggest upsets in UFC history based on the betting lines. Former welterweight champion Matt Serra was a slightly larger underdog for his first bout against Georges St-Pierre in 2007, closing at +850.

Dobson snapped a three-fight skid with Saturday's victory, and she's now 2-3 in the UFC. Agapova, who had won three straight fights, suffered her first loss in the Octagon and her second as a professional.

Pedro Munhoz versus Frankie Edgar is the bantamweight main event of UFC Fight Night.
