‘Korean Zombie’ says retirement depends on UFC Fight Night 225 performance vs. Max Holloway

Chan Sung Jung hasn’t decided whether UFC Fight Night 225 will be the final fight of his MMA career – and he won’t until it’s over.

“The Korean Zombie” hasn’t been hesitant to acknowledge that he’s at the tail end of his time in the sport. Jung (17-7 MMA, 7-4 UFC) wanted at least one more marquee fight before it was over, though, and that’s why he called to fight former champ Max Holloway (24-7 MMA, 20-7 UFC) in Saturday’s featherweight main event at Singapore Indoor Stadium, which streams on ESPN+.

“I’ve wanted to fight Holloway forever,” Jung told reporters through an interpreter at UFC Fight Night 225 media day. “Whenever I imagine me fighting Holloway, I also expect a slugfest to happen. Both fighters are going to be worn out to the very bottom, so it’s going to be a very fun fight.”
