Holloway: I really needed an early victory

Former UFC Featherweight Champion Max Holloway commented on his early victory over the "Korean Zombie" Chen Song Jong.

Recall that yesterday, August 26, Holloway knocked out Chen in the third round at UFC Fight Night 225 in Kallang, Singapore.

“I really needed an early victory. Could there be a better place for this than Singapore, where my 12 consecutive win streak and the road to the championship began? This is my first knockout. Fantastic feeling. There was something special in the air. They call me "pillow hands", but apparently this time they put stones in my gloves.

People forget that this year I will only turn 32. I have been with you since I was just a baby. I hope I didn't bore you, but if so, then get used to it. I am in this sport for the long haul,” Holloway said.
