Max Holloway rewrites UFC striking record book with thrashing of Calvin Kattar

Max Holloway walked into the octagon on Saturday night on a two-fight losing skid. Twenty-five minutes later he walked out with a smile, a one-sided decision win, a $50,000 bonus and a collection of new entries in the UFC record book.

Holloway has always been known for his ability to put a lot of volume into his striking game. Against Calvin Kattar in the main event of UFC Fight Island 7, the former UFC featherweight champion took that volume to another level. Over the course of the featherweight scrap, Holloway attempted a mind-boggling 744 significant strikes, a number which dwarfs the previous record of 515 from Colby Covington’s win over Robbie Lawler in 2019.
