Jon Anik previews ‘huge’ UFC Fight Island 7 main event between Max Holloway and Calvin Kattar, reacts to ABC debut

After a short hiatus, the UFC returns to action this weekend and debuts on a new network.

UFC Fight Island 7 takes place this Saturday in Abu Dhabi featuring a pivotal main event at 145 pounds between former champion Max Holloway and surging contender Calvin Kattar. The event will stream on ESPN+, but will also serve as the first promotional broadcast to air on ABC.

With the exciting news of the UFC returning to network television for the first time since their deal with FOX came to a close at the end of 2018, head play-by-play voice Jon Anik’s trip back to Abu Dhabi comes a week earlier.
