Holloway vs Korean Zombie LIVE: UFC Singapore results today
Re-live updates after Max Holloway and Chan Sung Jung squared off in a featherweight main event
Max Holloway produced a stunning knockout of Chan Sung Jung at UFC Singapore on Saturday, before the “Korean Zombie” retired from mixed martial arts.
Former champion Holloway got the better of the 36-year-old across the first two rounds of the featherweight main event, nearly securing a D’Arce choke in the second frame. However, Sung Jung had his moments, wobbling the Hawaiian more than once.
A frenzied striking exchange at the start of the third round promised disaster for one of the two men, and it was Sung Jung who hit the mat face-first when Holloway landed a clean overhand right.
There were rumours that this clash with Holloway, 31, might be Sung Jung’s last fight, and that proved to be the case, with the South Korean removing his gloves after the bout, kneeling on the canvas, and bowing his head in a tearful goodbye to MMA. Re-live updates and results from UFC Singapore below.
UFC Singapore LIVE: Holloway vs Korean Zombie
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of UFC Singapore!
Max Holloway and the “Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung will square off in the main event today.
Holloway, widely deemed one of the greatest featherweights of all time, is trying to work his way back to a title fight after suffering three losses to reigning champion Alexander Volkanovski between 2019 and 2022.
Volkanovski took the belt from the Hawaiian in their first meeting then twice retained it against Holloway, who bounced back from his third loss to the Australian by outpointing Arnold Allen in April.
Now Holloway, 31, faces a “legacy fight” with Sung Jung, a veteran who came up short against Volkanovski in April 2022. Sung Jung, 36, has not competed since losing that title fight 16 months ago, and many are predicting a tough outing for the fan favourite here, as he goes up against one of the slickest strikers in the UFC.
