UFC on ESPN 32 Results: Kattar vs. Chikadze
Kicking off the UFC’s 2022 schedule, Calvin Kattar would rebound in fantastic fashion to best Giga Chikadze in a fight that will be amongst the best come the end of the year.
After taking a year off from competition following a heavy defeat at the hands of Max Holloway, Kattar’s return to the octagon would see him produce a high-output, heavy-hitting performance to hand Chikadze his first UFC loss.
With thudding elbows and his trademark piston jab creating the majority of his success, Kattar and Chikadze would battle it out for the full 25 minutes before the former deservedly had his hand raised.
