Per Andrew Davis of ESPN Stats & Info (h/t ESPN's Ariel Helwani), the previous record for significant strikes landed in a single fight was 290 by Holloway against Brian Ortega at UFC 231 in December 2018.
Even though Holloway was putting on a striking clinic, Kattar did last for all five rounds. The judges recognized the fight wasn't close, awarding Holloway a unanimous-decision win with two scores of 50-43 and one of 50-42.
Davis also noted this is just the second time one judge has awarded a 50-42 score in UFC history. The first one occurred at UFC 58 in March 2006 when Rich Franklin beat David Loiseau in the main event.
