By the Numbers: UFC Singapore

Max Holloway and Chan Sung Jung put on a show in Singapore.

After an entertaining opening 10 minutes, Holloway sent “The Korean Zombie” into retirement with a knockout 23 seconds into Round 3 of the UFC Fight Night 225 headliner at Singapore Indoor Stadium on Saturday. For Jung, it marks the end of a 25-fight professional tenure that twice saw him challenge for 145-pound gold in the Octagon. Holloway, meanwhile, remains the clear-cut No. 2 in a division still ruled by Alexander Volkanovski.
