When Max Holloway and 'The Korean Zombie' clashed inside the octagon
'The Korean Zombie' made his UFC debut back in 2011. Since then, he has fought for the featherweight championship twice, facing off against Jose Aldo and Alexander Volkanovski. However, the Korean fighter was unable to capitalize on those opportunities to win the title.
Chan Sung Jung's last fight was against Max Holloway in August 2023, where he lost by knockout. Following that match, the Korean fighter announced his retirement from the sport, concluding his MMA career of more than a decade with a record of 17-8.
