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.

OAKLAND, Calif. - Civil liberties groups are lauding Oakland leaders for their decision to ban predictive policing and biometric surveillance technology, which they say do not work and are racially biased.
The bans became effective Tuesday and Oakland is the first city in the nation to put such bans in place, according to the San Francisco office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
City councilmembers voted unanimously to put the bans in place, according to city records.
Predictive policing involves using math and analytics to anticipate crime and help prevent it, according to the National Institute of Justice. Biometric surveillance is the use of a person s behavioral and physical characteristics to locate and possibly perpetually watch a person.
