‘Korean Zombie’ leaves Octagon, Jeong Chan-sung announces his retirement
Korean Zombie Jung Chan-sung (36) will leave Octagon.
Jung Chan-sung announced on the 27th that he would “stop” after losing to Holloway by KO 23 seconds after the start of the third round in the featherweight match of the main event of “UFC Fight Night: Holloway vs Korean Zombie” at India’s Stadium in Singapore. Jung Chan-sung continued, “The reason I’m stopping is because I’m a champion.” I thought I could beat Holloway. “I prepared without regret,” he said. “I didn’t fight to come in third, fourth, and fifth.” “I was going to be a champion, but I couldn’t beat the top ranker, so I think it’s time to cool down and stop,” he said. Once on the ring, he came down from the stage he loved most, shedding tears.
Jung Chan-sung, who started kickboxing first, stood out after advancing to mixed martial arts in 2007. In 2013, he was the only Korean player to play in the UFC title match. He lost to Jose Aoudou (Brazil), the strongest player at the time, due to a dislocated shoulder joint during the game. Since 2020, he has been in the ring three times before the match and has recorded one win and two losses. Most recently, he played a UFC featherweight title match with Alexander Volkanovski (Australia) in April last year and lost to TKO in the fourth round. After losing to Holloway this time, he ended his career with two consecutive losses. 스포츠토토
