Max Holloway sets new UFC record in winning performance over Calvin Kattar


Former UFC featherweight world champion Max Holloway made his case for another title shot following a dominant performance over Calvin Kattar in the main event of UFC on ABC this Sunday at the Etihad Arena in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.

The 29-year-old former champion from Hawaii was relentless from start to finish as he peppered Kattar with punches to the head and body and mixed it with his elbows.

To Kattar’s credit, he took Holloway’s best shots all night though he seemingly went near to getting finished in round 4.

Holloway landed a UFC record of 445 significant strikes during their five-round encounter, 141 of which he landed in round 4 that broke his own UFC record for most landed in a round.

All three judges saw the fight for Holloway after 25 minutes of action, earning him a unanimous decision nod improving his record to 22-6 while Kattar dropped to 22-5. — LA, GMA News
