Max Holloway has had great relationships with various opponents with whom he shared the octhoek.
This is certainly the case on the way to his next outing on UFC 318, where Holloway and Dustin Poirier will complete their trilogy in New Orleans.
Of all the former enemies who are 'blessed' with outside the Octagon, one of them stands out.
The current BMF title holder recently made a trip to South Korea when Holloway connected to Chan Sung Jung, also known as 'The Korean Zombie'.
After they faced each other in August 2023, the two legends of the sport recently spent some time together where Holloway and 'The Korean zombie' even spar some.

Max Holloway's wife breaks punching machine record to numb both him and 'The Korean Zombie'
In a recent video on his YouTube channel, Max Holloway fans gave another look at the time he spent with 'The Korean Zombie'.
The newest chapter of his journey to South Korea was aimed at a “food tour” of the capital of the country, Seoul.
Halfway through the video they took a break from Korean BBQ and noodles to blow some steam into an arcade.
This did not surprisingly led them to “Dragon Punch”, a punching bag that takes you strength, with Holloway and 'TKZ' Flow-For-Blow.

The last attempt by Holloway broke the record of the machine, then claimed that the machine was broken after he had registered a low score for the last attempt by his opponent.
To the surprise of everyone who was a crowd around the machine, however, this theory was refuted by Alessa Holloway, Max's wife, who improved the high score of the former featherweight champion by touching 9872.

The list of distinctions by Max Holloway will only continue with the former champion holding the record for the most important strikes that have landed in the UFC history.
For the most part of his career, 'blessed' was a volume striker that was very effective in putting opponents away after he had overwhelmed them.

That said, in two of his last three trips he lifted his hand after landing a huge last blow that the show closed in an instant.
'The Korean zombie' and Justin Gaethje both found out that only because Holloway hits quickly and often, this does not mean that he cannot sit on his power if he chooses.
