Max Holloway and Chen Sung Jung

Top UFC Featherweight Chen Song Jong nicknamed "Korean Zombie" announced his retirement after losing to Max Holloway at UFC Fight Night 225.

The South Korean was knocked out in the third round.

“I'm done with the fights. I always wanted to be a champion. Ever since I got into MMA. I'm not here to be ranked third or fourth or fifth. I tried my best to prepare for the fight with Holloway and believed that I could beat him. I didn't succeed. I don't think I'll get that chance again. That's why I'm leaving," Chen Sung Jung said in a post-match interview.
