UFC on ABC 1 delivered with a fun card and some really good match-ups. The lineup included two female bouts, one between Sarah Moras and Vanessa Melo and another that pitted Yanan Wu against Joselyne Edwards.
I also previewed Claire Guthrie’s fight against Nadine Mandiau, but I was unable to watch that Legacy Fighting Alliance contest due to work and have yet to see it. From what I understand, it was all Guthrie as she cruised to a decision win.
After my review of the UFC on ABC 1 fights, I will give a brief synopsis of the midweek UFC on ESPN 20 card’s female fights. It won’t be my normal extended preview, but it’s a little something extra.

The big winners from Saturday’s UFC Fight Island 7 fight card fielded questions from the media during the event’s post-fight press conference. Hear from former featherweight champion Max Holloway, former interim welterweight titleholder Carlos Condit, and UFC president Dana White.
Holloway, the top contender in the 145-pound division, faced No. 6 ranked Calvin Kattar in Saturday’s main event and put in one of his most impressive career performances.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship kicked off their 2021 schedule of events on Saturday with UFC Fight Island 7: Hollway vs. Kattar at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. The event marked the first to air on the ABC network.
Former featherweight champion Max Holloway faced No. 6 ranked Calvin Kattar in the fight card’s main event and Holloway dominated the fight from start to finish.
Holloway simply outclassed Kattar with his high output and accurate combinations. Hollaway mixed up his attack landing punches, elbows, kicks, spinning kicks, and knees. While Kattar found success with his jab, the fight was one-sided.
