The UFC’s 2021 campaign will kick off on January 16th, with a card that will see former featheweight champ Max Holloway taking on Calvin Kattar.

Recently the promotion shared out the poster for the Fight Island card, and as you can see by looking below, it’s a bit different…

Holloway versus Kattar

The 29-year-old Holloway (21-6) will be fighting for the first time since July, when he lost via split decision to current champ, Alexander Volkanovski. That bout followed Holloway’s unanimous decision loss to Volkanovski in December, 2019, which ended ‘Blessed’s” reign.

The 32-year-old Kattar (22-4) has won back-to-back  bouts against Dan Ige and Jeremy Stephens, after losing via decision to Zabit Magomedsharipov last November.

You can check out the new poster below. You don’t typically see posters with fighters facing away from one another right?
