In the fight, Holloway landed a record 445 significant strikes, outdoing his own previous UFC record. While everyone heaped ‘Blessed’ with praise following the remarkable performance, many were in awe of Kattar’s ability to withstand strikes. Kattar was dominated for 25 minutes but wasn’t willing to get finished on the night, and he didn’t.
In an interview with Yahoo! Sports, Max Holloway revealed how he’s still in awe of Kattar’s toughness, claiming the Bostonian is ‘probably made out of vibranium’.
