Holloway: 'I expect the dangerous Korean Zombie to enter the Octagon on Saturday'

Former UFC Featherweight Champion Max Holloway shared his expectations from the upcoming fight with Chen Song Jong, better known as the "Korean Zombie". Their confrontation will take place on August 26 in the main event of the UFC Fight Night 225 tournament in Kallang, Singapore.

“If Chen and I had a fight immediately after our last fights with Volkanovski, then everyone would say that this is a fight of pre-retirement fighters. Let's see how everything turns out. I was lucky to have a duel with Allen, and then I was in the place of the Korean Zombie - everyone put an end to me.

Be that as it may, I do not pay attention to chatter. Chen has been on vacation for about a year and four months, so I expect to see the best version of him. He had enough time to recover, improve his health, become better physically and mentally. I expect the dangerous Korean Zombie to enter the octagon on Saturday,” Holloway said at a press conference.
