Hawaii’s Max Holloway did not disappoint in the main event of the first ever mixed martial arts event broadcast on ABC. Holloway’s performance was nothing short of dominant as he defeated Calvin Katter via unanimous decision (50-42, 50-43, 50-43) and social media had a lot to say about it.
Max was on another level tonight and talking to the #UFC broadcast team DURING the fight 👊🗣
