“The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung has departed from the battle game empty-handed.
Jung realized once it was over that it was time to retire
One of Korea’s all-time greatest fighters made his final appearance in an MMA cage at UFC Singapore. Having no idea if his battle with former Featherweight champion Max Holloway would be his last, Jung realized once it was over that it was time to retire.
In a report from MMA Mania, the fascinating Jung, 36, completed his career with a 17-8 record (7-5 in UFC), but he was defeated by “Blessed” in a wild knockout in the third round. After the bout, Jung removed his gloves as is customary for retiring fighters in the sport before leaving the Octagon for a short time. Unfortunately for “Korean Zombie,” as he left the arena, an avaricious admirer took the unforgettable item from his possession.
According to Korean Zombie Jung’s YouTube channel, after taking off my gloves in the Octagon, I was walking backstage while holding the gloves in my left hand. I kept my left arm folded on purpose while giving the audience high fives on the way back because I had the gloves in my left hand. However, someone grabbed my wrists and snatched one of my gloves.

“Those were the final gloves I had.”
Seriously, dude? He went on. Those gloves were something I truly wanted to preserve, but one was missing. So I just chucked the second one into the crowd, thinking, “Whatever.” You’ve gone too far, whomever grabbed my glove. Those were the final gloves I had.
In his remarkable career, Korean Zombie, Jung twice competed for the UFC Featherweight title, but lost to the famous Jose Aldo in 2013 and Alexander Volkanovski in 2022.
