Max Holloway still isn’t slowing down.
The former UFC featherweight champion scored a monster knockout to retire “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung on Saturday in the main event of UFC Singapore. In one of the wilder finishing sequences of 2023, Holloway and Jung went to war in the opening seconds of the third round after a harrowing second frame that nearly saw the Hawaiian fighter put Jung down for good. With one beautiful right hand, Holloway pushed his UFC record to 18-0 in the featherweight division against fighters not named Alexander Volkanovski since 2014.
