‘The Korean Zombie’ may be in for a long night at UFC Singapore, but Chan Sung Jung got exactly what he wanted according to longtime coach Eddie Cha.

On August 26, the South Korean fan favorite will return to the Octagon for a main event clash with one of the most complete strikers in UFC history, Max Holloway. The bout will come more than a year removed from Jung’s one-sided affair against reigning featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski. While ‘The Korean Zombie’ gave it everything he had, Volkanovski proved to be entirely too much for Jung that night.
