The 31-year-old Holloway improved to 25-7, while The Korean Zombie ends his career with a 17-8 record.
“I am going to stop fighting. I’ve always wanted to become champion when I first started the sport. I’m not here to be ranked third, fourth or fifth,” said Jung.
“I tried my absolute best to prepare for Max Holloway. I really, really believed I could beat him, but I ended up failing. I don’t think I have the opportunity anymore, so I think I’m going to stop right now.”
