This card (on January 15, 2022) features a potential banger between featherweights Calvin Kattar and Giga Chikadze. Kattar is looking to rebound from his 5 round drubbing at the hands of former champion Max Holloway while Chikadze is looking to win his tenth fight in a row and stay undefeated in the UFC.

Fight odds: As of Friday night, Chikadze is a -240 favorite over the +200 Kattar at BetUS.

Post fight update: As expected, Giga and Kattar put on an absolute war en route to “Fight of the Night” bonuses. Kattar was non-stop action all night with his precise striking and timely grappling. Giga put on a good show as well with his kickboxing but it was not enough as Kattar took the upset unanimous five-round decision. Kattar snapped Giga’s 10 fight winning streak and Kattar looks to put himself in title contention once again. In the Co-main event, Jake Collier was able to submit Chase Sherman to take home one of the “Performance of the Night” bonuses. Viacheslav Borshchev took the other bonus in his UFC debut as he knocked out Dakota Bush with a nasty shot to the body.
