Max Holloway – Calvin Kattar. Forecast and announcement for the fight

UFC on ABC 1 Main Event

Fight Island in Abu Dhabi (UAE) will host the first UFC event of 2021 this coming Saturday night. It will also be the promotion’s first tournament in collaboration with the American television network ABC, so the event will be called UFC on ABC 1. This show is also interesting in that the audience will finally be able to watch UFC fights live, about 2000 fans will be present at Etihad Arena” January 16th.

The title of the UFC on ABC 1 card will feature a duel between two top featherweights, Holloway and Kattar.

No. 1 ranking and former UFC featherweight champion Holloway is approaching the fight after a not very successful dilogy with Alexander Volkanovski. In December 2019, Holloway lost his title to the Australian in a competitive fight by unanimous decision. And in an immediate rematch in July at UFC 251, in an even more even fight, Volkanovski won again, this time by a split decision. For Holloway, this was the third defeat in his last four fights.

Holloway – Kattar is worth watching even for non-UFC fans. This will be a top fight

Kattar spent last year on a positive note. In May at UFC 249, he closed a decent points loss to Zabit Magomedsharipov by knocking out Jeremy Stevens. And in July, Kattar figured out a unanimous decision in a 5-round fight with Dan Ige.

Prediction for the fight

Holloway is known as an excellent drummer with good boxing and kickboxing. Lacking a powerful punch, he often finishes his opponents with a huge mass of thrown punches. The Hawaiian himself holds a punch well and has excellent stamina.

Kattar comes from kickboxing, like his opponent. He also relies not on a one-time strike, but on combination work. Although Kattar has rather heavy hands. Calvin is also a resilient fighter who can handle high tempo.

Probably, we are waiting for a close fight in the stance, which will reach the referee’s decision. Holloway, of course, is a more experienced and skilled fighter, and due to this, he can record his upcoming performance as an asset.

Holloway win on points
