Max Holloway and Calvin Kattar have a lot in common, even aside from the fact that both men are scheduled to take part in this weekend’s UFC main event. They are within three years of one another in age. Both are 5’11”, tall for the featherweight division they share. Where Holloway has fought 27 times professionally, Kattar’s ledger stands at a virtually identical 26. Both are nice guys who fight mean. Both are tough as dirt. Both are bound to give us a hell of a fight this Saturday.
But in hindsight, the paths these two men have taken couldn’t be more different.
