If the oddsmakers are to be believed, Max Holloway will be dominating his fight against Korean Zombie at UFC Singapore. The former undisputed featherweight champion will be taking on Chan Sung Jung, aka “The Korean Zombie” in the main event of the card on August 26.
Holloway has been favored greatly for his bout against the UFC star as per the early odds listed by SportsBetting.ag. While Jung is seen as a bing underdog at +700, Holloway is a -1000 favorite for the fight.

It turns out that a $100 bet on Holloway, which ends in a win, would churn out a $10 profit, whereas a $100 bet on the Korean Zombie will yield a profit of $700. The probability of Holloway emerging triumphant in the fight is said to be around 91 percent, whereas the odds for Jung winning the bout is given a chance of just 12.5 percent.
Considering the fighters’ current positions, the odds should not be surprising. Holloway remains dominant in the featherweight division, firmly holding the No. 2 spot in the MMA Fighting Global Rankings, just behind Alexander Volkanovski. On the other hand, Jung stands at the 11th position, and his performance has also notably declined in recent years. Moreover, at the age of 36, he has openly expressed his intentions to retire in the near future.
On June 15, the official announcement of the Holloway vs. Zombie fight was made alongside the revelation of two other main event bouts. These include Cory Sandhagen vs. Umar Nurmagomedov, scheduled for UFC Nashville on August 5, and Ciryl Gane vs. Serghei Spivac, set for UFC Paris on September 2. Excitingly, all three fights have their respective odds listed on SportsBetting.ag.
While MMA Fighting ranks Nurmagomedov at No. 10, which is six spots below Sandhagen’s No. 4 position, oddsmakers hold a favorable view of the undefeated bantamweight’s potential to surpass Sandhagen. Currently, Nurmagomedov stands as a -300 favorite, indicating a higher likelihood of victory. Conversely, Sandhagen finds himself as the underdog with odds of +250.
Implied odds suggest that Nurmagomedov has a 75 percent chance of winning, meaning a successful $100 bet on him would result in a profit of $33.33. On the other hand, Sandhagen is given a 29 percent chance of winning, and if a $100 bet on him proves successful, it would yield a profit of $250.
