Calvin Kattar issues first statement after ‘Fight of the Night’ battle against Max Holloway

Calvin Kattar is down but certainly not out.

The New England native suffered a unanimous decision loss to Max Holloway this past weekend in a Fight of the Night effort as the main event at UFC Fight Island 7 in Abu Dhabi.

Despite absorbing over 400 significant strikes over five rounds, Kattar refused to go away and he was still swinging at the former featherweight champion with everything in his arsenal until the final bell. Afterwards, UFC president Dana White insisted that Kattar get rushed to a medical facility for precautionary reasons rather than stick around to speak to the media following the fight.
