Max Holloway Absolutely Dismantles Calvin Kattar In Fight Island’s First Main Event Of The Week

As I’ve mentioned in my previous blogs today, I’m currently on a 15 hour flight over to Fight Island without access to ABC (or WiFi good enough to stream live television) so unfortunately, I didn’t catch anything more than the highlights from this one, but MAN OH MAN DID MAX HOLLOWAY JUST PUT ON A SHOW, HUH?!?!?! I MEAN THE GUY WAS SHOUTING AT DANA AND THE COMMENTARY TEAM MID-FIGHT FOR CHRIST’S SAKE!

Believe me, I’ll be going back and watching this fight the SECOND we touch down (honestly can’t believe I missed it), but it didn’t take more than a few videos on Twitter for me to tell just how spectacular a performance Max was putting on tonight. My entire Twitter feed was just BLOWING UP with fans, fighters, and media in near-disbelief at just how great the former champ looked, and tons of em even went as far as saying he’s never in his career looked better!

Calvin Kattar hung in there til the very end and showed an unbelievable amount of heart (and a chin of fuckin steel), which is almost as impressive as Max putting on the performance he did, but it just seems like Holloway was levels above him tonight. I mean 50-42 is just complete and total domination, and against a guy like Kattar? Its fucking insane.

Hopefully Max gets back in contention for the Featherweight title ASAP. If not, tho….didn’t Khabib just say he wanted to see something impress him on Fight Island? I didn’t forget about that (briefly booked, then cancelled) matchup from a couple years back, and I would DEFINITELY still be down to see it!

OR, if McGregor’s on a rematch tour, I’d be EXTREMELY interested in what that fight looks like in 2021 as well. Holloway even said he’d step in on short notice next week if needed.
