Max Holloway vs. Calvin Kattar booked to headline first UFC card of 2021

2020 may have proved to be a rough year for the UFC when it’s come to keeping fight cards together, but the promotion is looking to get the new year started off on the right foot. The promotion officially announced the booking of an all-action featherweight bout between former champion Max Holloway and top-ranked contender Calvin Kattar. The fight is set to headline the UFC’s January 16th Fight Night card, the first event of the 2021 schedule.

For Max Holloway, this bout could provide just the springboard he needs after an understandably unproductive year.
