When Volkanovski’s title defense was announced – it was initially to be against Max Holloway. Holloway almost instantly declared himself injured and plenty of athletes threw their hat in the ring. In the end, the promotion chose Korean Zombie.
Jung Chan-sung lived up to his nickname, sadly. He just kept taking punishment from the Macedonian-Australian champion.
Great Stoppage from Herb Dean. Salute to the warrior The Korean Zombie! But Alexander The Great Volkanovski is truly the best. #UFC273

Herb Dean called a stop to action in the 4th round after a huge flurry from Volkanovski that wobbled Zombie. Despite being wobbled, Zombie remained on his feet. At this point, he was a step behind Volkanovski to every punch for the majority of the rounds.
