Max Holloway explains mid-fight shout at Calvin Kattar, channeling Muhammad Ali

Max Holloway made sure that his ABC debut would not be forgotten.

Not only did “Blessed” put forth one of the most dominant five-round performances of his career against Calvin Kattar at UFC Fight Island 7, he also authored a dramatic moment that was perfect for the UFC’s first-ever broadcast on a network that has hosted some of boxing’s biggest names.

In the final round of Saturday’s main event, Holloway kept up the ridiculous pace that he’d maintained throughout the fight and at one point, shouted to the commentary team that he was the best boxer in the UFC, then turned to shout at Kattar, all while dodging his opponent’s punches.
