UFC Fight Night 225 was the first promotional event in Singapore since 2019, with a surprisingly strong selection of important contender fights. Starting at 5 a.m. ET in the U.S., the 13-fight card ended over 6 hours later, with North American fans hopefully catching either the main event or main card, depending on timezone. In the headliner, one of the greatest featherweights ever in Max Holloway faced long-time top contender and fan favorite Chang Sung Jung, better known as “The Korean Zombie.”
Holloway came into the fight having won three of his last four, with the lone blemish being a decision loss in a third meeting with featherweight kingpin Alexander Volkanovski.
