Max Holloway is set to earn a big payday at UFC 292

Max Holloway is set to return to the octagon to take on “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung in his retirement fight in Singapore. Holloway is at the point where no one in the featherweight division can compete with him other than the king of the division Alexander Volkanovski. He is set out to put a stamp on the featherweight division by finishing Jung in front of his home crowd in Asia and making it impossible for the UFC not to give him another shot at the title in the near future. Jung was the one who called for his retirement fight to be against Holloway and he will get what he wished for which is an extremely tough fight against one of the best featherweight fighters of all time.
