Calvin "The Boston Finisher" Kattar squares off against Youssef "The Moroccan Devil" Zalal in a three-round featherweight battle at UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. Both fighters step into the octagon aiming for victory to move up the ranks at UFC Fight Night 251—hosted just before the main event featuring Jared Cannonier and Gregory Rodrigues.
Kattar, fighting out of Methuen, Massachusetts with Team Sityodtong and Carlos Neto BJJ, holds a professional record of 23 wins and eight losses. He looks to bounce back after a unanimous decision loss to Aljamain Sterling in April 2024. In contrast, Zalal comes from a win against Jack Shore via an arm-triangle choke. The slightly younger fighter from Englewood, Colorado under Factory X now carries a 16-win, five-loss record.
