Once again, a crucial Ultimate Fighting Championship contenders’ bout was cut short by injury, leaving more questions than answers.
On Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, the latest victims of what seems like an almost weekly occurrence this year were UFC Fight Night 213 headliners Calvin Kattar and Arnold Allen. “The Boston Finisher” and “Almighty” were just getting going when, late in the first round, Kattar landed awkwardly after a jumping attack, apparently damaging his right knee. He gutted out the remainder of the frame, but was no better off after the between-rounds break.
