After four long weeks, the UFC finally returns with former featherweight champion Max Holloway taking on rising star Calvin Kattar on Fight Island this weekend.
The last event the UFC held was way back on December 19, when Stephen Thompson beat Geoff Neal, but the promotion is back with three blockbuster fight cards in the space of a week.
Holloway will be looking for his first win since back-to-back defeats to Australia's Alexander Volkanovski, while Kattar is looking to climb further up the 145-pound rankings and into title contention.
Australian and Samoan heavyweight Justin Tafa is also on the card, set to take on Brazilian Carlos Felipe.
Here's everything you need to know about the card.
WHEN IS MAX HOLLOWAY VS CALVIN KATTAR?
The fight card will take place on January 16 in Abu Dhabi, which is Sunday, January 17 in Australia and New Zealand.
HOW TO WATCH HOLLOWAY VS KATTAR IN AUSTRALIA?
In the US, the card marks the UFC's first appearance on ABC, but in Australia, you can watch all the action on Kayo.

JUSTIN TAFA TO FIGHT CARLOS FELIPE
Brisbane-based Justin Tafa is back in action this weekend, preparing for his third Octagon outing when takes on Carlos Felipe.
Tafa, (1-1 in the UFC), earned a stunning first round knockout of Juan Adams at UFC 247 in February before the COVID-19 shutdowns.
He was scheduled to fight Rafael Pessoa in July, but was forced out on late notice due to injury.
Felipe is also 1-1 in the UFC, losing a decision to Sergey Spivak before beating Yorgan de Castro. De Castro knocked Tafa out at UFC 243 in Melbourne in the Australian's promotional debut.
MAX HOLLOWAY RECORD
Despite his two defeats to Volkanovski, Holloway is one of the greatest featherweights of all time, having beaten Jose Aldo (twice), Anthony Pettis, Ricardo Lamas, Jeremy Stephens and Cub Swanson.
His record stands at 21-6 as a professional, and the Hawaiian is 17-6 in the UFC.
He lost his debut to Dustin Poirier, and later lost a lightweight interim title fight to the Diamond as well. Most recently he dropped two decisions in consecutive featherweight title fights to Volkanovski. His other two defeats came opposite Dennis Bermudez and Conor McGregor in 2013.
CALVIN KATTAR RECORD
Kattar is on a two-fight win-streak and wants this victory to propel himself closer to a title fight at 145.
His record is currently 22-4 as a pro and 6-2 in the UFC.
After debuting with back-to-back wins over Andre Fili and Shane Burgos, Kattar dropped a decision to Renato Moicano. He put together another two stoppage wins, but was edged by Zabit Magomedsharipov in a Fight of the Night main event in December 2019.
His two most recent wins have come against Jeremy Stephens (with a wild elbow doing the damage) and a decision against Danny Ige.
