Wholesome.
It’s been nearly two weeks since former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Featherweight champion Max Holloway spoiled UFC legend Dustin Poirier’s last dance at UFC 318, winning their trilogy via unanimous decision (watch highlights).
Another legend who retired last year, Chan Sung Jung, aka “The Korean Zombie,”—who has become besties with Holloway this year—recently released a YouTube video documenting his trip to the U.S., where he was cageside during Holloway-Poirier 3.
In the second
round, Poirier dropped Holloway, electrifying the New Orleans crowd. Zombie’s stunned reaction mirrored the audience’s shock.

The peril on Zombie’s face when Holloway went down was unmistakable.
Holloway and Zombie faced off at UFC Singapore, where Holloway knocked out Zombie in what became Zombie’s final fight (watch highlights).
Since then, their friendship has grown, with Holloway traveling to Korea this year to scout up-and-coming fighters during multi-day auditions, spar, and lead seminars.
They also competed in a playful Dragon Punch arcade showdown to test their punching power (watch it).
