Max Holloway Dominates Calvin Train in Leading Performance | Fight Island UFC 7

Max Holloway and Calvin Train face off tonight (Saturday, January 16, 2021) in a major featherweight showdown from “Fight Island” in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates at UFC Fight Island 7. Two of the best forwards weigh 145 pounds. Both men are looking to take a step closer to the title. For Max Holloway, his only chance to reclaim the crown is to win a full set of back-to-back fights, or at least stay on the winning pole until Alexander Volkanovsky advances the title.

Instead, a train is riding a powerful wave of momentum in this match. If he is able to dislodge the former champ, then there is a real chance Katar will exit the octagon with the title shot secured.
