Max Holloway vs. Calvin Kattar

Max “The Blessed” Holloway is all set to face Calvin Kattar on January 16, the fight would take place at the Fight Island, Abu Dhabi. The winner would most probably face the champ Volkanovski after he defends his title against Brian Ortega.

With his recent loss to Alexander Volkanovski people are asking for a trilogy fight but the champ Alexander is not interested in that fight, he said he wants to face new challenges and a third fight with Max does not make any sense.

Max is ready to work his way up to the top to get his title fight and he acknowledges the challenge Kattar poses, in an interview with Yahoo! Sports he says, “At the end of the day, we’re fighting five rounds.“There’s no less work. I’ve got to do the same amount of work, the same amount I’ve been doing for a title fight – the same rules, the same everything.”
