Chan Sung Jung draws the curtain on his long fighting career. The emotional announcement came after Max Holloway stopped ‘The Korean Zombie’ and prevailed in the battle of forward pressure and firm chins at UFC Singapore. The headliner was the perfect entertainment recipe for the fans: a high-paced action fight with fireworks on offer. However, they didn’t realize a moving revelation awaited them.

‘Blessed’ Max Holloway came into the fight after brushing aside another surging contender in Arnold Allen.

A win against the Hawaiian fighter meant another shot at the gold for the South Korean fighter. However, he failed to get past the gatekeeper of the 145-pound division.

Notably, the Hawaiian fighter won the fight via knockout in round three.
