One of MMA’s featherweight legends decided to call it a career after going out on his shield in an exciting battle in Singapore.
Former 145-pound champion Max Holloway met Chan Sung Jung in the main event of UFC Fight Night 225 at Singapore Indoor Stadium in what was an emotional night for both fighters, before and after the bout.
Holloway (25-7 MMA, 21-7 UFC) entered the octagon with a heavy heart with thoughts of the Hawaiian wildfire destruction on his mind, while a potential retirement loomed for Jung (17-8 MMA, 7-5 UFC). Oddsmakers had Holloway listed as a massive favorite in the contest, and he proved them right by landing a knockout punch 23 seconds into Round 3.
