UFC Fight Night 225 took place Saturday at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore and saw seven of 13 fights end in a stoppage.
None of those finishes were more memorable than the main event, where former champ Max Holloway (25-7 MMA, 21-7 UFC) lived up to expectations when he scored a brutal third-round knockout of Chan Sung Jung (17-8 MMA, 7-5 UFC) to send “The Korean Zombie” into retirement in the featherweight bout.
