Moroccan UFC fighter Youssef Zalal shared his thoughts about his upcoming bout against American Calvin Kattar, scheduled for February 16 at UFC Vegas 102.
Obviously everyone knows who Calvin Kattar is. He’s been in the game for so long and been through so many crazy fights, so I’m definitely preparing for the best Calvin I can ever prepare for it. He’s going to be a very dangerous Calvin, and I’m excited for that puzzle.
