“Gonna Be Poor Zombie’s Retirement”: Dana White’s Announcement Leaves Fans Concerned for 36-Year-Old as ‘the Korean Zombie’ and Max Holloway Fight Gets Announced for August

Max Holloway, the former featherweight champion, has set his sights on a clash with Chang Sung Jung, better known as the Korean Zombie. After his triumphant victory over Arnold Allen at UFC on ESPN 44 in April, Holloway’s impressive performance has only fueled the anticipation for this upcoming bout.

‘The Korean Zombie’ makes his return to the Octagon against a surging Max Holloway

This fight marks Jung’s UFC octagon return since his devastating knockout loss to Alexander Volkanovski in April 2022. Fans vividly remember the crushing defeat suffered by the Zombie, who appeared powerless against Volkanovski’s relentless onslaught.

It’s been over a year since that fateful encounter, and now Jung has an opportunity to redeem himself against another formidable opponent.

Holloway’s recent record speaks volumes about his current form, with an impressive three wins in his last four outings. The Hawaiian fighter has proved himself against everyone he has faced, except for the reigning champion, Alexander Volkanovski. As the Blessed Express continues to gather steam, Holloway aims to keep his momentum going by adding another victory to his streak. His dismantling of Arnold Allen proves that there is still hell to pay for underestimating Max.

Fan Reactions to Holloway vs Chan Sung Jung

However, this matchup has sparked concern among fans who question the appropriateness of the matchmaking. Many are wary of the Zombie’s recent performances, finding them less than convincing. Here’s what some of the fans had to say online:

Max by murder. Sad to see TKZ go out bad

This is gonna be poor zombie’s retirement fight

Are they trying to kill TKZ???

This fight may last if Korean Zombie can get out the 2nd round

Why’d they do zombie like this

Max gonna be -2000

Another highlight night for Holloway, absolutely love TKZ but don’t see how he wins this

I feel like TKZ will do better than most people think, respect for taking only hard matchups for his last fights, retiring like a boss

Wish this was 3 years earlier, but I think Zombie going to surprise people carrying that power up in weight

Zombie is getting lit up for 5 rounds

Hopefully Zombie makes some adjustments for this fight. KZs style of fighting the opponent while being flat footed is definitely a bad idea since Max is too quick with his jabs and has good movement.

As the highly anticipated showdown approaches, the MMA community eagerly awaits the clash between these two warriors. While concerns loom over the Zombie’s ability to deliver a convincing performance, there is an air of excitement surrounding this encounter.

What do you think? Will Holloway be the one to put the Korean Zombie out to pasture?
