Max Holloway praises ‘legend’ Chan Sung Jung: ‘It was an honor to be his last fight’

Max Holloway can’t say enough good things about ‘The Korean Zombie.’

Despite being brief rivals in the cage this past Saturday, Holloway (25-7 MMA, 21-7 UFC) has nothing but respect for Chan Sung Jung, who closed out a 16-year career as a professional MMA fighter.

Jung (17-8 MMA, 7-5 UFC) announced his retirement from the sport after his knockout loss to Holloway in the main event of UFC Fight Night 225, which went down at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore. Although he came up short, Holloway has respect for Jung and what he was able to accomplish in MMA.
