Max Holloway is almost universally expected to defeat Chan Sung Jung in Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 225 main event, but he won’t allow that to impact his mindset.
Holloway (24-7 MMA, 20-7 UFC) enters the featherweight showdown with Jung (24-7 MMA, 20-7 UFC), which takes place at Singapore Indoor Stadium and streams on ESPN+, as a massive betting favorite. He can be found as high as an 8-to-1 favorite from some oddsmakers, meaning the belief is he should win with ease.
“The Korean Zombie” hasn’t competed since April 2022, when he suffered a lopsided title-fight loss to Alexander Volkanovski. He specifically asked to fight Holloway before his career wraps up, and the promotion granted that wish. There’s been some criticism toward UFC matchmakers that it’s not a fair fight at this point, but Holloway thinks that’s unfair.
