The Korean Zombie receives custom UFC/WEC championship following official MMA retirement
Chan sung Jung or ‘The Korean Zombie’, receives a custom WEC/UFC belt following his recent retirement.
Jung, who is most often refereed to as ‘The Korean Zombie’ officially retired following his August 26 fight against Max Holloway. The pair would battle it out in the main event of UFC Singapore and Jung would put up a brave effort, but would ultimately be stopped in third round.
Following the loss, Jung would release the following statement –
“I haven’t achieved everything, but I’ve achieved enough, and wanting more in my head is like greed, so I’m trying to stop,” Jung stated via Instagram. “I feel like I’ve received undeserved love compared to what I’ve done, so I’m grateful to everyone. Now I don’t think I will live a life of being judged and compared anymore, so I feel free, relieved, and scared.
“In the meantime… Thank you so much for loving Korean Zombie. I was really, really happy while fighting in the UFC. Thank you UFC, [Sean Shelby], [Dana White], for letting me live this life. And it was an honour for [Max Holloway] to be my last fight opponent. Let’s greet each other with a bright smile someday. #End.” (Translated by MMA Mania)
