Max Holloway and “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung are nearly set to do battle.
The Featherweight division takes center stage when Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to Kallang, Singapore this weekend (Sat., Aug. 26, 2023). The former champion, Holloway, looks to regain momentum and get back on a winning streak over his fellow fan-favorite opponent, Jung. For the South Korean legend, Jung, Holloway acts as his first opponent since suffering a tough fourth round technical knockout defeat against the current champion, Alexander Volkanosvki, at UFC 273 in April 2022 (watch highlights).
Holloway and Jung participated in their first staredown earlier today (Tues., Aug. 22, 2023), meeting on the sandy shores of Singapore as seen in the embedded video above. Neither man is a stranger to earning a “Fight of the Night” bonus and the Singapore faithful hope they get spoiled like the last time the promotion was in the country for UFC 275 in June 2022.
