UFC featherweight contender Calvin Kattar isn’t looking for a fast track to the top.<\/p>\n

‘The Boston Finisher’ has been out of action since his main event with Josh Emmett<\/a> in June. That bout was a devastating one for Kattar, as he lost by split decision. However, many fighters came to his defense and stated that he deserved the decision.<\/p>\n

The featherweight contender is set to return this Saturday at UFC Vegas 63, for his fourth straight main event. Standing opposite Kattar will be the rising Arnold Allen<\/a>. ‘Almighty’ is riding a lengthy-winning streak, last defeating Dan Hooker in March.<\/p>\n

The Brit believes he’s just one fight away from scoring a title shot. However, Calvin Kattar isn’t exactly hoping to get a title shot next, even if he defeats Arnold Allen. Instead, he’d prefer to work his way up, and not rush into a championship fight.<\/p>\n

On The MMA Hour<\/em><\/a>, the featherweight contender opined that it would be better to go through the mud and work for a title shot than to be fast-tracked. Kattar also compared himself to Charles Oliveira<\/a>, and how hard ‘Do Bronx’ had to work, which made the championship that much sweeter.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, [I could be close to a title shot].” stated Kattar. “You already know, you take an L, and you have to go through the consolation rounds. It’s almost better to be fast-tracked right to the title like the other guys. But, I’ve always come up a [different] way, and I don’t want no f*cking fast track. I want to earn it.”<\/p>\n

He continued, “I want that Charles Oliveira s*it, make people proud and happy of me when I get it, [saying] \u2018Man, this kid got it through the mud, he earned that.\u2019 I feel like that’s more my story and I’m cool with it. I only want it if I feel like I’ve earned it myself. We’re working hard every day to make that a reality.”<\/p>\n
