Fighter on Fighter: Breaking down UFC Fight Island 7’s Calvin Kattar
Share this story
Boxing specialist, Calvin Kattar, will battle former Featherweight strap-hanger, Max Holloway, this Saturday (Jan. 16, 2021) at UFC Fight Island 7 in “Fight Island” on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.
For different reasons, both men are in difficult positions. Katter is that problematic mix of major talent and relatively low fame, which makes moving up the ladder difficult. He’s not an opponent elite Featherweights are rushing to call out, so instead Kattar finds himself facing foes just outside that group.
Holloway changes that. The former champion largely proved himself an equal to Alexander Volkanovski in their two fights, so putting the stamp on “Blessed” would really elevate Kattar’s notoriety and ranking.
