The first UFC card of 2022 will look to start things off with a bang, as featherweights will be in action inside the UFC’s APEX Center. Calvin Kattar will face off against Giga Chikadze on Jan. 15.
Kattar, who made his MMA debut in 2007, joined the UFC in 2017. After beating top contenders in Jeremy Stephens and Dan Ige, Kattar lost to Max Holloway in January 2021. During that fight, Holloway landed 445+ strikes, the most significant strikes landed in a fight in UFC history.
Kattar will look to stop the momentum of Chikadze, who has won nine fights in a row and seven with the UFC. The 33-year-old had a productive 2021, beating Cub Swanson and Edson Barboza via TKO. He is hoping to get a title shot after this against UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski.
