In a significant development within the MMA world, The Korean Zombie (named Chan Sung Jung) recently announced his retirement from the sport. This decision came in the wake of a memorable bout against former featherweight champion Max Holloway at a UFC Fight Night event held in Singapore.
Following his last bout, Jung left his gloves inside the cage. He also provided deeper insights into his decision through his YouTube channel.
He recounted the moment when Max Holloway extended a helping hand to him after their intense bout, saying: “At that moment when Max was helping me up, that is when I clearly realized that it was time for me to go.”
Jung also shared what played a central role in his retirement decision:
“I felt that my chin is not the same with the 23-year-old me when I fought Dustin in the past. Being constantly wobbled and knocked down – I mean, even with top-notch technique, it’s impossible to not get hit at all in MMA. That’s when I decided it was time for me to go.”
