Max Holloway delivered a “ya’ll must’ve forgot” type of performance on Saturday night. The former UFC featherweight champ, coming off back-to-back decision defeats to current 145-pound titleholder Alexander Volkanovski, styled and profiled on Calvin Kattar for 25 minutes before hearing his name declared the victor of their matchup at the top of the UFC Fight Night 7 fight card.
How lopsided was the fight? The scorecards had the ex-champ winning 50-43, 50-43, 50-42. If Holloway wanted to make a statement, and it seemed as if he did when he pointed to the UFC commentators in the fifth round and informed them, “I’m the best boxer in the UFC,” well, mission accomplished.
