Fight fans will have to set their alarms for Saturday morning, as UFC Singapore gets started while most of the western world is sound asleep. The 13-fight card gets underway at 5 a.m. ET, while the main card begins at 8 a.m. Watching fists fly might not be your typical Saturday morning routine, but the main event is going to be worth getting out of bed for.
Featherweight legend Max Holloway makes the walk to the Octagon for the 28th time in his famed career. The former champion faces the fearless “Korean Zombie” — Chan Sung Jung — who became a fan favorite for his penchant for coming forward and initiating violence. On paper, it appears like a matchup tailor-made for Holloway. Jung’s aggressiveness should lead to plenty of counters from one of the best technical strikers in the sport’s history.
While bettors are left to speculate whether the dreaded cliff is lurking around the corner for Holloway, his opponent has already shown signs of decline at age 36. Four years older than Holloway, Jung only mustered 48 significant strikes before getting finished in the fourth round by current champion Alexander Volkanovski. Losing to one of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters in the sport is nothing to be ashamed about, but it does show an important pattern that’s relevant in this fight.
