Jung Chan-sung then announced his retirement. Jung Chan-sung said, “I’ll stop,” adding, “I’m a person whose goal is to become a champion. “I prepared it with the thought that I could truly beat Holloway,” he said, expressing regret.
“My goal is to be a champion. I’m not fighting to do 3,4,5, etc. “I’m here for the championship, but I couldn’t beat the top-ranked player, so I think it’s time to cool down and stop,” he said.
Fans in the stadium cheered for Jung Chan-sung, who left Octagon shouting “Zombie,” and he also waved his hand to thank the fans.

Sahin Al-Sati, a reporter for “MMA,” recounted Jung Chan-sung’s career, saying, “What is the best memory of Korean zombies?”
“It’s a match against Dusty Poirier, the main event in 2012. I think it’s an underrated game even though I beat Poirier at the time. Jung Chan-sung showed breathtaking action and incredible swing.
