#2. UFC Fight Island 7: Max Holloway vs. Calvin Kattar
In the UFC, there are often fights where one competitor dominates the other. But on January 16, 2021, Max Holloway completely dismantled Calvin Kattar.
After his debut, Calvin Kattar became a standout in the featherweight division. Before facing Holloway, he had amassed six wins and two losses in the promotion. The New England Cartel team member wanted to prove that he could hang with the best in the world. The former champ, however, would spoil his plans.
The fight began with the Hawaiian setting the pace. Max Holloway is a patient technical fighter, but against Kattar, he changed his strategy. The 29-year-old showcased superior striking and speed, to which Kattar had no answer. In the final round, while dodging combinations, 'Blessed' pointed to the commentators and yelled:
''I'm the best boxer in the UFC!''
The crowd went crazy, and the iconic moment broke the internet. Max Holloway set significant and total strike records during the fight.
#1. UFC 183: Anderson Silva vs. Nick Diaz
Nick Diaz is among the most revered mixed martial artists to fight in the UFC. The veteran started his career in 2001. In his prime, the 38-year-old was considered one of the best welterweights in the world.
The elder Diaz brother fought in the WEC and Strikeforce as well as the UFC. He was also the Strikeforce welterweight champion. On March 17, 2013, he challenged Georges St-Pierre for the UFC welterweight strap but lost.
On February 1, 2015, 'Diablo' was at his eccentric best against Anderson Silva. From the beginning, he did not seem intimidated by the former champion. He started taunting Silva during the early exchanges, talking and gesturing. However, he took it one step further when he suddenly laid down in the octagon.
He posed as if he were on the couch, and everyone in attendance went wild. Diaz went on to lose the fight via unanimous decision, though this was later overturned to a no-contest. This mid-fight antic, however, has become an iconic moment in UFC history.
