All but two of those shots were deemed by stats trackers to be significant.<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CKIZNMuBVFc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to the UFC commentator Jon Anik</a>, Holloway set eight records with his sublime performance against Kattar.These included:<ul><li>Most significant strikes landed: 445 (previously 290)</li><li>Most significant attempts: 744 (previously 515)</li><li>Most distance strikes landed: 439 (previously 281)</li><li>Most significant head strikes landed: 274 (previously 244)</li><li>Most significant body strikes landed: 117 (previously 92)</li><li>Most significant strikes landed in a round: 141 (previously 134)</li><li>Most strikes landed in total: 447 (previously 361)</li><li>Most strikes attempted in total: 746 (previously 541)</li></ul>The performance was so ruthless and so complete that the UFC boss Dana White showed concern at the time that Kattar might die, and ordered the Boston fighter to go to hospital."This reminds me of the kind of fight where the fight's over … he fucking dies," <a href="https://www.insider.com/dana-white-feared-for-calvin-kattars-life-during-holloway-bludgeoning-2021-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White said during the bout</a>.The 33-year-old was hit with <a href="https://www.insider.com/calvin-kattar-given-6-month-suspension-after-dominant-ufc-loss-2021-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a six-month medical suspension from fighting</a> after suffering one of the most brutal beatings in UFC history.<h2>Holloway wants to improve for his weekend fight</h2><div type="image" title="Yair Rodriguez celebrates a recent win." height="1334" width="2000" msid="87646698" hostid="261"></div>One of the best featherweight fighters of all time, Holloway has wins over Charles Oliveira, Jose Aldo (twice), and Brian Ortega.After suffering closely-fought back-to-back losses to Alexander Volkanovski in UFC title fights, Holloway rebounded with the record-shattering win over Kattar.But he wants to improve on those metrics against Rodriguez, which is the main event of the UFC's behind-closed-doors show in Vegas this weekend."I threw like 790 punches or something" against Kattar, <a href="https://twitter.com/espnmma/status/1458575195485061122/photo/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Holloway told ESPN MMA</a> this week.

But then, just two seconds before the final bell sounds, Rodriguez connected with a blindly thrown elbow that caught Jung right in the jaw and knocked him out.It was as stunning an end to an already epic fight as you could have imagined.After the fight, UFC president Dana White called it the "craziest finish ever" when asked to put the last-second knockout in context of other dramatic endings in the history of the promotion."There was one second left on the clock when he landed that elbow," White said. "Yair was losing 4-to-1. 'Zombie' had the fight in the bag, he had one second to go and, wow, what a finish."Both fighters were hospitalized after the fight, but seemed in good spirits, even sharing a photo as they recovered together."This is how&#xa0;#MMA&#xa0;is treated," Rodriguez wrote in the caption. "@koreanzombiemma&#xa0;is a warrior.&#xa0;I am honored to have had the opportunity to fight against you, this has been the toughest fight I have ever had and the most significant one as well.&#xa0;@koreanzombiemma&#xa0;you recover soon warrior!"Hopefully, these two recover quickly because there's surely room for a rematch if UFC wants to book it.<div></div><div> </div> <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-nfl-league-usfl-sued-tweet-three-dollars-2017-9">Trump once won a lawsuit against the NFL - but the result was an embarrassment</a></h3> <div> </div> </div>
