Max Holloway set a new precedent in the UFC and possibly redefined MMA with his lopsided unanimous decision victory over Calvin Kattar at UFC Fight Island 7 last Saturday.
‘Blessed’ landed a record-breaking 447 strikes on Kattar and pounded on his opponent like a frozen piece of beef in a Rocky Balboa film.
But why wasn’t Holloway able to land on Alexander Volkanovski with such proficiency in prior bouts at UFC 245 and UFC 251?
According to Volkanovski, who beat Holloway in back-to-back fights to not only win but also defend the featherweight title, it’s because ‘The Great’ executed the perfect gameplan.
