Korean Zombie Responds to Max Holloway’s Callout at UFC Kansas City

The Korean Zombie broke his silence and issued a message to UFC star Max Holloway after the latter expressed his desire to face the “OG” in the promotion.

The South Korean fighter, who is on a layoff since his loss against Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 273, resonated with the same emotions and is rearing to go on the prospect of a fight against ‘Blessed’. The Hawaiian fighter, who turned in another skillful performance against Arnold Allen and halted his juggernaut at UFC Kansas City, is now short on opponents. After cleaning up the division, the American fighter assumed gatekeeping duties of sorts in the division. While a move up to lightweight is long muted, he is yet to face a couple of veterans in the promotion.

Holloway rued his chances of not facing Chan Sung Jung earlier, and the reason evades his mind. However, his callout only put the wheels in motion for a potential fight but also set The Korean Zombie’s “OG mind on fire”.

The Korean Zombie is ready to exchange blows anytime, anywhere

The 36-year-old took to his social media account and addressed Holloway’s callout. The fearless fighter expressed a willingness to fight him, regardless of venue and timeline.

In the uploaded clip, he said, “Holloway! If you want to fight me, anytime, anywhere! Let’s go, brother!”

Further, the caption read “Been a long time. Thanks for setting my ‘OG’ mind on fire. Let’s go, brother! @ufc @blessedmma #koreamma”

Previously, Holloway had specified his intention to fight The Korean Zombie on the upcoming UFC’s Australian fight night card.

Holloway’s desire to fight with “OG” Chan Sung Jung

In the post-event press conference at UFC Kansas City, Holloway admitted he was yet to share the Octagon with the #6 ranked flyweight.

Hence, he disclosed, “That is the only guy in my time with the older guys that I didn’t get to fight. I would love that fight. And if Korean Zombie wants it, he can get it. I would love to fight him.”

“He’s one of the OGs that I didn’t get to fight yet. We came up in the same era and we didn’t fight each other, so if that’s it, that’s it,” he added later on.
