Calvin Kattar’s head coach Tyson Chartier explains decision to not stop UFC Fight Island 7 fight with Max Holloway

Calvin Kattar’s head coach Tyson Chartier has heard the ridicule tossed in his direction since Kattar’s unanimous decision loss to Max Holloway at UFC Fight Island 7 earlier this month. While he’s fine with most opinions in the fight’s aftermath, there is certainly a limit to what is deemed acceptable in his eyes.

“The one thing I won’t tolerate is people thinking I don’t have Calvin’s well-being at the forefront of my mind the whole time,” Chartier exclaimed.

Kattar entered the biggest fight of his career on the heels of an impressive 2020 campaign, picking up a ferocious KO win over Jeremy Stephens at UFC 249, and a main event win over Dan Ige at UFC on ESPN 13 two months later.
