Max Holloway had plenty of compliments for 'The Korean Zombie' Chan Sung Jung after their memorable bout.

During the post-fight interview at UFC Singapore, Holloway commended Jung for his resilience and unwavering determination:

"Legend, the dude's a Zombie. I hit him in the second, I thought I had him out he kept coming back and I was like, 'oh my gosh what's going on', and next thing I know he's in the third round. And then I hit him with that in the third round and I got him but he got up pretty fast too after that."

He added:

"He never ever wanted to die on his shield he's always wanted to die on his sword and that's why people love The Korean Zombie. That's why I love him."
