Many doubted if Calvin Kattar was done for after absorbing a historic number of strikes from Max Holloway in 2021.

Calvin Kattar (23-5) returned one year later and unleashed pent-up aggression on Giga Chikadze over 25 minutes.

Calvin Kattar's dominance against the renowned kickboxer immediately renewed him as a contender worth watching in the featherweight division.

A win over Josh Emmett positions Calvin Kattar alongside the winner of Brian Ortega vs. Yair Rodriguez as next in line for a UFC title shot, barring a fourth installment in the seemingly infinite rivalry between champion Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway.
