Max Holloway produced one of the greatest UFC performances of all-time when he defeated Calvin Kattar at UFC Fight Island 7.
Holloway dominated Kattar en route to a lopsided unanimous decision victory in the main-event of their featherweight clash last year.
The classy Hawaiian striker lit up his opponent, landing a slew of vicious elbows as he brutally busted up Kattar's face.

The final scorecards read 50-43, 50-43 and 50-42 to Holloway who produced arguably his best performance of his glittering MMA career.
He has since picked up another win, beating Yair Rodriguez in a barnburner at UFC Vegas 42 last November.
The former UFC featherweight king had been in line for a third crack at current 145lbs king Alexander Volkanovski until injury forced him to withdraw.
