5 potential opponents for Calvin Kattar after his latest win

#4. Calvin Kattar vs. Arnold Allen

UFC Fight Night: Allen (right) vs. Yusuff

Calvin Kattar and Arnold Allen may be two of the most underrated fighters in the UFC featherweight division. While Kattar may be seeking an opponent higher in the rankings for his next bout, Allen is on the cusp of the top five and given he's undefeated in the UFC, a win over the Englishman would hold plenty of value.

Once again, there are some potential issues with this matchup. Arnold Allen is expected to fight on March 19 and should he lose, this bout could be off the table. Additionally, it once again means Calvin Kattar will have to be okay with at least a five-month wait before he next steps foot inside the octagon.

However, if everything works out, these two could meet in a big bout of top contenders seeking to enter the title conversation. In a division where many of the top guys are established names in the sport, this bout would provide the perfect springboard for either man to to fight those big names.

#3. Calvin Kattar vs. Josh Emmett

Josh Emmett is another featherweight who may not get the credit he deserves. The 36-year-old is right behind Kattar in the rankings and is on a four-fight winning streak that had some putting his name forward for a potential title shot.

Emmett last fought in December 2021 and is yet to have his next bout booked. This means him and Kattar could get back in there as soon as they are ready, which could be appealing if they are seeking to be active.

On top of that, this is another bout that will ensure the winner gets a big time opportunity. Whoever comes out on top would be very much in the title conversation and would at least guarantee themselves a big name in their next fight.
