The UFC is opening 2021 with a reasonably solid Fight Night offering, with UFC Fight Island 7, which is headlined by a truly fantastic featherweight scrap between Max Holloway and Calvin Kattar. A legends bout between Carlos Condit & Matt Brown should bring some violence to the co-main. And fans will finally get to see Santiago Ponzinibbio back in action against Li Jingliang. Toss some Joaquin Buckley in there too, and the card promises violence.
