Former two-time featherweight champion, ‘The Korean Zombie’ Chan Sung Jung has confirmed his retirement from mixed martial arts competition this evening following his stunning third round KO loss to former division titleholder, Max Holloway in the main event of UFC Singapore.
Returning to the Octagon for the first time since a fourth round TKO defeat to Alexander Volkanovski in a featherweight title fight back in April of last year, South Korean favorite, The Korean Zombie headlined tonight’s return to Asia for the promotion, taking on Hawaiian striker, Holloway.
And said to be weighing up his future in combat sports ahead of his headliner against Holloway at UFC Singapore, Zombie, whose most recent win came in the form of a decision victory over Dan Ige back in 2021 in a headlining tilt, suffered a spectacular loss in a blood-and-guts performance today.
