It didn't take long for Max Holloway to take down "The Korean Zombie."

Holloway knocked out Chan Sung Jung seconds into the third round at UFC Singapore on Saturday morning. The win pushed Holloway's record to 25-7 and 1-0 in 2023.

'Lahaina, Maui, this one's for you guys'

Holloway, who is from Honolulu, Hawaii, dedicated his victory to the people of Lahaina on the nearby island of Maui. Wildfires have recently devastated the city of Lahaina and at least 115 people have died as a result of the fires with several hundred still missing.

'The Korean Zombie' officially retires

The 36-year-old Jung from South Korea announced his retirement from mixed martial arts soon after the loss. He finished with a 17-8 record but hadn't won a fight since 2021.
