Max Holloway is motivated heading into his UFC Singapore return against Korean Zombie. ‘Blessed’ has been out of the cage since a win over Arnold Allen in April at UFC Kansas City. That was an important win for the former champion, coming off his loss to Alexander Volkanovski in their trilogy bout last year. Following the win this Spring, Max Holloway called to face the Korean Zombie.

UFC featherweight contender Korean Zombie is unsure of retirement leading into his return against Max Holloway. The former title challenger has been out of action since his failed bid for gold last April. Headlining UFC 273 against Alexander Volkanovski, Chan Sung Jung, also known as Korean Zombie, was dominated. He suffered a fourth-round stoppage defeat at the hands of ‘The Great’ that night.

Max Holloway knows Korean Zombie is still an elite and dangerous fighter despite what the odds say. Holloway is set to headline UFC Singapore on Saturday against Korean Zombie, and the Hawaiian is a massive betting favorite. Many expect Holloway to run through Chan Sung Jung, especially after Zombie being off for nearly a year-and-a-half and last time out, was dominated by Alexander Volkanovski and suffered a TKO loss.

Max Holloway says he has only been rocked one time in his UFC career. Holloway has been in the UFC since 2012 and has fought 27 times inside the Octagon going 20-7. In his MMA career, he has only lost once by stoppage and it was in his UFC debut by submission to Dustin Poirier. Outside of that, the other six losses have all come by decision, which is why ‘Blessed’ is considered one of the most durable fighters in the game.

Max Holloway is disappointed in the government as the wildfires in Hawaii have raged on. Wildfires started to take over Maui and the death total reached over 110 with thousands of people missing. To make matters worse, Hawaii has one of the largest siren warning systems in the world, but the 80 alarms on Maui, stayed silent. Many citizens were confused as to why the sirens never went off and Max Holloway believes that is just one of the many things the government did to fail the people.

Former UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway has opened as a massive favorite against The Korean Zombie. ‘Blessed’ has been out of the cage since his clash with Arnold Allen at UFC Kansas City in April.

Henry Cejudo has two names in mind if Merab Dvalishvili isn’t able to get healthy in a timely fashion. Dvalishvili recently underwent surgery and when he will be able to fight again is uncertain. With that, Cejudo says he wants to remain active so if he can’t fight Dvalishvili, he would like to settle his bad blood against Brandon Moreno, but it would have to be at 135lbs, as he can’t see himself fighting at flyweight again.

Former UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway has high praise for Charles Oliveira. ‘Do Bronx’ returned to the octagon over the weekend at UFC 289 in the co-main event. There, he faced Beneil Dariush in a title eliminator fight, with champion Islam Makhachev currently waiting for his next opponent. The two lightweights were highly motivated by that potential title shot headed into Saturday night.

Lewis Simpson - May 23, 2023

UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski has zero desire in a potential fourth fight with Max Holloway. The history between arguably the two greatest featherweights in UFC history dates back to 2019, when Volkanovski first attained the title at UFC 254, snapping Holloway’s fourteen-fight unbeaten streak at 145lbs. Since then, the pair have met a further twice, with the Australian edging a split decision at UFC 251 and then putting on a clinic at UFC 276 to go (3-0) over the former champ.

Filming wrapped earlier this year, with the show to premiere next month.
