Former UFC Featherweight Champion Max Holloway and former title challenger Jung Chan-sung, better known by his ring name The Korean Zombie, are set to clash in a featherweight bout in Singapore on 26th August when they headline UFC on ESPN 52.

American star Holloway first became UFC Featherweight Champion when he beat Jose Aldo back in June 2017, and he defended the title three times before losing to Alexander Volkanovski in December 2019.

The 31-year-old has subsequently lost to Australian Volkanovski on two more occasions but was last seen in action in April when beating British fighter Arnold Allen by unanimous decision at UFC on ESPN 44.

The Korean Zombie returns to the UFC stage for the first time since April 2022, when he was also defeated by Volkanovski at UFC 273, losing by TKO.
