The crowd in Singapore was something else... The Korean zombie walkout to the octagon was the best one I've seen, every single person in that arena sang along. You can tell it made even the zombie emotional. Thank you for a legendary career.
Best retirement moment ever. When they played the Zombie song and the crowd started singing it for him as he was walking away, man, that was so beautiful. Thank God the production gave him is respect and didn't cut away for commercials or something. He totally deserves it.
Second this. Great moment for zombie and his fans. Bisping also evolving in his role thinking on his feet and calling his name out with intensity one last time while zombie places his gloves down. I put him above Rogan and DC for post fight interviews now. Perfection.
Yeah i forgot to mention that. Bisping did such an amazing job. Takes a true warrior like him to truly appreciate a guy like Zombie. Bisping was always quick with his words to talk shit but seeing him in the opposite side, giving all the respect to fighters is amazing to see.@@helenareed1459
That is bad. They could have done that after the fact but while the man is doing his last (whatever that means these days because lots of fighters are fighting in other organizations after a few months) walkout... Disrespectful to say the least.@@ct0332
When he came out swinging at the start of the third, I felt that was it, he made up his mind to retire. One of the fighters who I always rooted for to win every one of his fights
With that tired body and knowing that you might probably lose, it takes a lot of courage to go forward and swing like that. Your body just naturally refuses. Zombie is a zombie and a true warrior.
He knew he wouldnt be able to keep up with Max going into the 4th and 5th, it felt like. It was do or die at that point and thats cool, im happy for him Jung is a legend
It's always emotional seeing someone retire. These guys put their heart and soul and lives on the line everytime they step foot into that octagon. Well done KZ. Absolute legend
Thank you for all the blood, sweat, and tears you have shed in the octagon for us, Zombie... you will always be remembered for your heart and your contribution towards the sport.
KZ should always be respected, he brought a lot of attention to MMA in Korea and showed Korean athletes have potential to become great in this sport. He may not have achieved the belt, but more importantly, he paved the way for the next generation. Never forget his sacrifices. Enjoy the retirement!
@@alexandrostheodorou8387 I'd argue that Holloway is not in his prime anymore actually. He's noticeably slower and much more tentative nowadays. That being said, the fact he's still elite is a testament to his greatness.
I hate to say but maybe it's the truth that Chan Sung Jung could have become a UFC champion if he didn't have such a long layoff serving his country. Regardless Chan Sung Jung is a legend in the sport he will never die long live the KOREAN ZOMBIE!!!
Nah you can’t upload this clip without including him hugging his team and walking out w the crowd singing Zombie. One of the most beautiful moments I’ve seen in MMA and sports as a whole.
Legends never die! This dude belongs in the Hall of Fame. He truly went out on his shield and was one of the most exciting fighters to have blessed the octagon.
Zombie has always been a class act throughout all of his fights, always come to compete and slug with his opponents, and has fought now 3 generations of FWs Including Garcia, Poirer, Hominick, Ige, Moicano, Yair, Ortega, etc. And I'm ultimately grateful to have seen him share the Octagon with some of the greatest FWs such as Aldo, Volk, and now Max. Legend.❤🙏
Love everything about how TKZ ended his career, he didn’t string it out to take damage he didn’t need to, he didn’t retire on no fight, he came out like a man and once he realized that it isn’t his time in the cage anymore he unleashed it with everything he had putting it all in the line, he went out like a man fighting hard knowing that it was do or die, he gave us the best 45 seconds of mma right there, happy to be able to see this man walk through shots into his late 30’s🙏🙏🙏
Fastest KO in FW history and UFC history at the time, 10 straight main events, 4th most bonuses of all time at FW, first ever twister submission, highlight KOs against Moicano, Edgar, and Bermudez, and all-time great wars against Garcia, Yair, and Poirier. The Korean Zombie was one of the most exciting fighters of his era, and has nothing left to prove. Congrats on a legendary career and thank you for the memories!
What an absolute beautiful ending to an amazing career. The zombie didn't walk away with the win, however his last fight was quite poetic to his career and his fight style. Fighting one of the greatest to ever do it in an absolute war and getting severely rocked then damn near finished, only to find that will power deep inside and get back to his feet like the zombie he is. Then, come out the next round with a complete Do or Die mindset. "Zombie" playing over the speakers and the crowd belting the lyrics as he steps out of the octagon for the last time was the mother fucking cherry on top 💯 Absolute legend.
Great ending. Not every player quits the journey with own decision in the octagon. All aura and spotlight shine on TKZ. May god bless with TKZ. Your fighting journey has inspired all :)
He's a legend And his retirement gave me goosebumps, especially when the fans began to sing zombie Thanks for everything and enjoy your life zombie Crowd was awesome!!
The moment after this interview where Zombie was crying to "Zombie" was one of the most emotional retirements I have seen in the UFC. Wish so bad he could have captured the belt, but he will always be remembered nonetheless!
The Korean Zombie has been one of my favorite fighters and I've watched MMA since 2003 when the I was 13. First time I saw him fight was against Leonard Garcia is WEC, one if my all time favorite fights and became a fan of both ever since. Zombie always could've achieved the belt and is one of the only fighters in MMA history who never had a boring fight. His fight for the belt with Aldo was unfortunate with his shoulder popping out of place and there game plan was to go after Jose in the 4th and fifth full boar cause Aldo would gas out in the later rounds. Wish the fight with Max would've happened like 5 years ago it would've been perfect timing. Thank you Zombie for entertaining us for over a decade and wish you the best outside of fighting, your a champ and fan favorite to us your fans and one of the best to ever do it with the best nickname in MMA history that no one deserved but you!!! Congrats LEGEND!!!
@@marksman9249 As a fighter, the maximum respect you can show to another one is going all-out. It shows you see him as an equal and someone who deserves your best effort to put away. Plus, it is even less damaging to knock him out in the third than having the Zombie get Kattar'd over five.
When I first became a mixed martial arts fan 15 years ago, Korean Zombie was one of the first fighters I really liked. Never stopped being a fan. I absolutely hated watching Volk take him apart but damn he fought his face off. Max Holloway is a class act for how much respect he showed. I was doing so good not crying up until Chan went to step out of the cage and everyone started singing. I just started bawling. Thank you for an amazing career Zombie. See you in the hall of fame 🖤
True. I think his first title fight with Aldo was neck and neck until his shoulder got off. I think he could have beaten Conor for sure if not for military tho
It's ridiculous how they excuse football players from the duty and not mma fighters. He's shown us the best against some adverse conditions and his desperation never failed me.
Seeing the Korean Zombie walk out of the octagon in his last fight while the crowd is singing Zombie by The Cranberries is one of my favorite moments in MMA history. Zombie is a legend and has given us some truly incredible moments.
Sorry to see the legend go, but Zombie has given us so much and deserves a rest. Thanks for all of the excitement and all the best for whatever comes next!! Legend!!!
정찬성 선수 당신은 이미 한국격투기뿐만아니라 ufc라는 단체를 통틀어서도 레전드입니다. 그동안 보여준 수많은 명경기들을 보며 가슴뛰는 순간이 얼마나 많았는지 모릅니다. 오늘 경기도 결과와 상관없이 정말 멋진 모습 보여주셨습니다! 그동안 정말 감사했습니다! 당신의 마지막 경기를 볼 수 있어서 정말 영광이었습니다! 격투기 선수로서뿐만아니라 정찬성이라는 사람의 인생도 응원합니다!!
Translation: Jung Chan-sung, you are already a legend not only in Korean martial arts but also in the organization called ufc. You don't know how many heart-thumping moments there were while watching the countless great matches that have been shown so far. Regardless of the results of Gyeonggi-do today, you showed a really great look! Thank you so much! It was such an honor to see your last match! I support not only as a martial arts player but also the life of a person named Chansung Jung!!
The Korean Zombie, Great performances you have shown so far have inspired a lot of fans around the world who love this sport, and the fans will not forget that you have made a tremendous contribution to the development of this sport, and it will be recorded forever in MMA history. I hope you live a wonderful second life after you retire, as you poured everything into your last game without regrets. - From South Korea
Huge respect to legend, The Korean Zombie. The best retirement moment I've ever seen, when everyone were singing "zombie". I hope UFC will upload this on RUclips as well
The Twister Man, The Legend the one and only Korean ZOMBIE. Thanks for all the legendary fights you've shown into the world of MMA. Once a legend is always a LEGEND.
He was One of the first MMA fighters I Saw when I was a newbie, his Twister sub made me feel very interested in this sport. He put Korea in the map of MMA Worldwide. He had crazy matches during his Career. Possibly Future Hall Of Famer. Thank you for the memories Chan Sun Jung
Zombie clearly wanted to go out on his shield in that third round. He did just that, in an arena filled with fans singing his song one last time. Thank you for many amazing fights, an incredibly entertaining career and thanks to the UFC for treating his retirement with the utmost respect!
For years, as a fan of TKZ, The journey was filled with beautiful memories with him. The last round was very zombie himself. He deserves to be a legend in UFC history. Thank you CHAN-SUNG lml.
Mannnn! The way he came out!!! and his energy throughout the fight! Specially in the 3rd round, His do or die mentality, and the final walkout!! Gooosebumps man!!! ZOMBIEEEE ZOMBIEEEE ZOMBIEEE! What a Legend ❤
Thank you to the Zombie for giving his all to the sport and to the fans!! I know it’s cliche, but you if you shoot for the moon you’ll at least land among the stars. He may not be a champion but he’s one of the best to ever do it. The Korean Zombie is a fighter in every sense of the word 👊
@@adeelali8417 That's not the point of the expression. The point is if you shoot for the moon but you miss it (the moon being your goal) you would land in the stars, if you don't land on the moon to stop you. So if you were shooting for the moon but missed, say to the left of it, you would keep going in space until you reach the stars. That's the point
@@adeelali8417 Just a tip, sometimes it's better to google something if you are not sure, and don't try to clown someone like that, u played yourself son
One of the scariest dudes in MMA in his younger years. Nothing wrong with hanging up the gloves, man. I hope you enjoy retirement, and enjoy the time with your family and friends. Well deserved. We'll miss the Korean Zombie.
One of the most exciting UFC fighters of the era. Thank you for all the shared experiences ♥may you rest well in your retirement KZ🧟 Heart of a warrior
Man moments like these i wish there was no language barrier - the way he said he' d retire "그만할게요" is basically an acceptance. It directly translates to "ill stop now" an understanding Forever a legend, TKZ
The way the crowd showed him love as he left the octagon was a lot. Tkz was smiling in the cage, but emotions got to him as he was walking down through the crowd.
That man went out like the savage he is aswell as humble. Instead of loosing to a decision he went out giving his all and had became one of the top ufc featherweights that ever fought TKZ you the man!
Exciting finishes every fight he's in are so entertaining and I'm sure we will never forget how much of a tough he is what a retirement! We all will miss him
Started watching ufc back in 2010/2011 your fight was the first main event tbh bro.Thank you KZ for everything ,every moment will be remembered...happy retirement bro...
I think most everyone does. HoF isn't just for champions, it's for legends of the sport who have made an impact both on the sport but more importantly in the hearts of fans.
Timeless Warrior, one of the most entertaining figthers of all Time!, I can't forget His wars against Leonard García, Poirier, Jose Aldo and Yair Rodríguez
The walkouts were both very emotional and intense . From zombie potentially making his last walkout to max walking out for his people in Hawaii . One the most Emotional and very intense fight night I ever seen . Solute to the zombie . Max stays blessed . I love MMA
I didnt notice his gloves were off. When he said he was retiring my heart sank. So many legends recently. Hope zombie enjoys retirement no one deserves it more than him 🫡👏🏻
I like how TKZ didn't bitched out and just cover up and gave up like most fighters that retire. Korean Zombie remembered he is the Korean Zombie and fought like the Korean Zombie. Went out the way he went in. Swangin and bangin 😊
You cant say youve seen a boring Korean Zombie fight. The man has some of the most heart in the entire UFC and he deserves everyone's admiration. Legend for sure.
Both these guys are absolute legends! Sad that Korean Zombie retired tho because he was awesome in the ring and had a badass name! Love both Holloway and Jung Chan-sung and wish Jung well in retirement!
He aimed to be champion and fought for it 3 separate times. Earned his way back up each time but just never took it. Was really rooting for him, but absolute legend nonetheless. His accomplishments are something to really be proud of. I hope he enjoys some good family time now.
The first words of the Korean Zombie were " I'll stop.(means retirement)". The next words were" I thought I would cry, but there are no tears." But he cried after dropping the gloves and bowing down. He did his best.
Thank you KZ. Legend. It's a shame UFC cut out the part where you walked out of the cage with the crowd singing The cranberries - zombie. HoF plz and ty.
Really loved watching your fight! Really enjoyed waiting for your fight! Really appreciate that I was able to see your fights! You are LEGEND! I feel bad that I never got to see your fight live in octagon and I will never be.... Enjoy your retirement! 정찬성 선수 정말 수고 많으셨고 정말 감사합니다. 당신은 한국인이라는 이유만으로 제가 UFC를 즐겨보게 해주었고 당신 덕분에 더 많은 한국 UFC선수들을 응원하고 관심가질수 있게 해줬습니다. 코좀의 경기를 보면서 한국인이라는 이유로 관심가지고 보기 시작한 UFC가 코좀을 보기위한 UFC가 되었었네요. 제 해병대 선배인 김동현 선수 그리고 타이틀전을 두번이나 치룬 정찬성선수의 경기를 볼 수 있는 시대에 살아 행복했습니다! 돈 많이 벌어서 언젠간 정찬성선수의 경기를 직접 보러 경기장에 갈 날이 오겠지라고 생각했는데 앞으로 그럴 기회가 없을꺼라는게 너무 슬픕니다 하지만 항상 응원하겠습니다. 제 방에 정찬성선수님의 UFC 피규어가 있습니다. 저는 먼 타지에서 자리잡아 살고있지만 형님의 멋진 경기 영상 계속 찾아보면서 형님의 Last dance를 기억하겠습니다. 그리고 저도 끝까지 열심히 노력하겠습니다. 그동안 정말 감사했습니다!
Korean zombie🔥🔥🔥🔥 그 동안 정찬성 선수 보면서 희열도 많이 느꼈고 같이 슬퍼도 했었습니다. 격투기를 사랑하게 해준 정찬성 선수 후회없는 경기 해주셔서 정말 감사합니다. 마지막 경기 팬들과 함께 환호속에 퇴장하는 모습은 마치 영화의 한 장면이였습니다. 당신은 존경받을만한 선수이며 한국에서 다시 찾아보기 힘든 선수를 볼수있어서 영광이였습니다. 제 마음속의 영원한 ufc 넘버원은 코리안 좀비입니다. 정말 수고많으셨습니다. Korean zombie forever!!! 🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷❤
Full translation to the best of my ability “I thought that I would be crying right now, but I don’t see any tears. My main goal of fighting is to be a champion, and I thought that I could beat Holloway. I trained very hard for this fight. I am not here to be 3rd, 4th or 5th (ranked), my goal is to be a champion. If I can’t beat the top ranked guys, I need to think that this is the end.”

Agree 100%! Zombie always gave his all and he came up just a bit short. It was the best walkoff that I've ever seen!
Genuinely made me tear up when everyone was singing zombie whilst he walked out, that was one of the best retirement moments in UFC history for me.
100% i felt the same
bro i cried last night at my muaythai event while watching zombie fight, wish him all the best and deserved to be in ufc hall of fame!
와... ufc 역사상 최고의 은퇴란 말도 해주다니
Yea i can’t believe they didn’t include it in this video
Only if the song didn't suck

You mean long undead zombie?
nice
Long live the zombie indeed

Bro said fuck it I'm going in for the last time. Absolute warrior a legend of the sport
Best retirement moment ever. When they played the Zombie song and the crowd started singing it for him as he was walking away, man, that was so beautiful. Thank God the production gave him is respect and didn't cut away for commercials or something. He totally deserves it.
Our Dutch broadcasters took a moment to let Germaine de Randamie give her opinion on the fight while the Zombie got his farewell……

Wonder why guys like chandler still has Ko power and athletic at 37 but Zombie looks different. Is it genetic or ?

It's always emotional seeing someone retire. These guys put their heart and soul and lives on the line everytime they step foot into that octagon.
Well done KZ. Absolute legend
Honestly the embrace from everyone, support from the crowd and exit walkout combined with the song was beautiful to see.
Shoutout to the translator as well, he was really good
Whoever grabbed his glove when he was walking back deserves to spar a one round with this man.
Thank you for all the blood, sweat, and tears you have shed in the octagon for us, Zombie... you will always be remembered for your heart and your contribution towards the sport.
KZ should always be respected, he brought a lot of attention to MMA in Korea and showed Korean athletes have potential to become great in this sport. He may not have achieved the belt, but more importantly, he paved the way for the next generation.
Never forget his sacrifices. Enjoy the retirement!

The Korean Zombie, Great performances you have shown so far have inspired a lot of fans around the world who love this sport, and the fans will not forget that you have made a tremendous contribution to the development of this sport, and it will be recorded forever in MMA history. I hope you live a wonderful second life after you retire, as you poured everything into your last game without regrets. - From South Korea
Huge respect to legend, The Korean Zombie. The best retirement moment I've ever seen, when everyone were singing "zombie". I hope UFC will upload this on RUclips as well
I recorded it I'm trying to upload it but my RUclips app is tripping out
끝까지 도전하는 정찬성 선수의 모습에 큰 감동을 받았습니다. 명성에 걸맞는 더할나위 없이 아름다운 경기, 격투기와 팬들 그리고 수고한 자신에 대한 큰절이라 느꼈습니다...
코리안좌좀
@@workto679 넌 걍 코리안너드
UFC should’ve posted the whole ending, a very special moment when the whole crowd sings to send him off
it's on ESPN's MMA IG page
The Twister Man, The Legend the one and only Korean ZOMBIE. Thanks for all the legendary fights you've shown into the world of MMA. Once a legend is always a LEGEND.
당신은 대한민국 격투기의 전설입니다. 대한민국 국민들에게 주신 감동 그동안 너무 행복했습니다. 은퇴경기 코리아 좀비다운모습으로 각인시켜주셔서 눈물났구요. 이제 후배양성으로 챔피언 꼭 키워주시길 부탁드립니다
the legend of losing, ez win for holloway 😂😂😂
@@emikominaYour mom losing your dad😂
He was One of the first MMA fighters I Saw when I was a newbie, his Twister sub made me feel very interested in this sport.
He put Korea in the map of MMA Worldwide.
He had crazy matches during his Career.
Possibly Future Hall Of Famer.
Thank you for the memories Chan Sun Jung
Thank you for all the special moments you gave us. Hearing the crowd sing "zombie" with you was awesome. We appreciate your heart and spirit ❤
Zombie clearly wanted to go out on his shield in that third round. He did just that, in an arena filled with fans singing his song one last time.
Thank you for many amazing fights, an incredibly entertaining career and thanks to the UFC for treating his retirement with the utmost respect!
His walk in made me emotional but his walk out made me tear up. Thank you so much Sir! Dae-Han Min-Guk! 🙏
Thanks for all the memories TKZ, will never forget them. A Legendary career 🇰🇷🧟♂️
Should have uploaded the whole sequence with his exit from arena while the song was playing. It was epic and emotional.
For years, as a fan of TKZ, The journey was filled with beautiful memories with him. The last round was very zombie himself. He deserves to be a legend in UFC history. Thank you CHAN-SUNG lml.
Mannnn! The way he came out!!! and his energy throughout the fight! Specially in the 3rd round, His do or die mentality, and the final walkout!! Gooosebumps man!!! ZOMBIEEEE ZOMBIEEEE ZOMBIEEE! What a Legend ❤
Thank you to the Zombie for giving his all to the sport and to the fans!! I know it’s cliche, but you if you shoot for the moon you’ll at least land among the stars.
He may not be a champion but he’s one of the best to ever do it. The Korean Zombie is a fighter in every sense of the word 👊
😂😂
You mean if you shoot for the stars you'll land on the moon..
@@adeelali8417No he had it right the expression goes "shoot for the moon so that even if you miss you land in the stars."
@@creasedhorizon8931
Stars are further than the moon..
@@adeelali8417 That's not the point of the expression. The point is if you shoot for the moon but you miss it (the moon being your goal) you would land in the stars, if you don't land on the moon to stop you. So if you were shooting for the moon but missed, say to the left of it, you would keep going in space until you reach the stars. That's the point
@@adeelali8417 Just a tip, sometimes it's better to google something if you are not sure, and don't try to clown someone like that, u played yourself son
One of the scariest dudes in MMA in his younger years. Nothing wrong with hanging up the gloves, man. I hope you enjoy retirement, and enjoy the time with your family and friends. Well deserved. We'll miss the Korean Zombie.
One of the most exciting UFC fighters of the era.
Thank you for all the shared experiences
♥may you rest well in your retirement KZ🧟 Heart of a warrior
Korean Zombie will never retire from our heart forever. ❤ from 🇮🇳
Man moments like these i wish there was no language barrier - the way he said he' d retire "그만할게요" is basically an acceptance. It directly translates to "ill stop now" an understanding
Forever a legend, TKZ
Underrated comment 💯
The way the crowd showed him love as he left the octagon was a lot. Tkz was smiling in the cage, but emotions got to him as he was walking down through the crowd.
Zombie is straight up legend hope he enjoys his retirement
That man went out like the savage he is aswell as humble. Instead of loosing to a decision he went out giving his all and had became one of the top ufc featherweights that ever fought TKZ you the man!
Second time this week Koreans almost made me cry. Shit was like a movie. Glad we can still see TKZ on his RUclips channel.
Every time I see it I can't help but cry from nostalgia. Thank you for everything Korean Zombie.
Exciting finishes every fight he's in are so entertaining and I'm sure we will never forget how much of a tough he is what a retirement! We all will miss him
Started watching ufc back in 2010/2011 your fight was the first main event tbh bro.Thank you KZ for everything ,every moment will be remembered...happy retirement bro...
Thank you for everything! Legend. For those who may not know, he has a RUclips channel with subtitles! @koreanzombie
Zombie.. you are a legend. We'll miss you. Thank you for the memories.
Does anyone agree that TKZ should be in the ufc hall of fame?
I think most everyone does. HoF isn't just for champions, it's for legends of the sport who have made an impact both on the sport but more importantly in the hearts of fans.
Timeless Warrior, one of the most entertaining figthers of all Time!, I can't forget His wars against Leonard García, Poirier, Jose Aldo and Yair Rodríguez
What a retirement, the best one in the UFC. Made me tear up 🥲
Legendary fighter!
Thank you TKZ
The walkouts were both very emotional and intense . From zombie potentially making his last walkout to max walking out for his people in Hawaii . One the most Emotional and very intense fight night I ever seen . Solute to the zombie . Max stays blessed . I love MMA
MOST EMOTIONAL RETIREMENT IN UFC HISTORY
I didnt notice his gloves were off. When he said he was retiring my heart sank. So many legends recently. Hope zombie enjoys retirement no one deserves it more than him 🫡👏🏻
TKZ, the legend! he's done it exactly in his way. thank you for the fights making us excited all night
He will always be the guy to start his ufc with the best submission of all time. The TWISTERRRR
I like how TKZ didn't bitched out and just cover up and gave up like most fighters that retire. Korean Zombie remembered he is the Korean Zombie and fought like the Korean Zombie. Went out the way he went in. Swangin and bangin 😊
Him walking out of the octagon needs to be posted. I got actual goosebumps hearing that crowd sing Zombie and seeing how emotional he was.
We have so beautiful memories with Zombie. Thank you for your all commitmnt.❤ TKZ is Legend forever!!!
It’s sad for somebody to retire to a loss like that, enjoy retirement brother.
Zombie ... those knockouts that you received cannot be calmly watched. I cried after the knockout. Be healthy . You are a real man
LEGEND, his twister move will FOREVER be REMEMBERED
oh man, i cried like a lil boy, thank you for an amazing time watching your fights!
He didn't get the belt, but when most of the crowd sings your theme as you walk into retirement, that's gotta feel just as good.
You cant say youve seen a boring Korean Zombie fight. The man has some of the most heart in the entire UFC and he deserves everyone's admiration. Legend for sure.
💯
Both these guys are absolute legends! Sad that Korean Zombie retired tho because he was awesome in the ring and had a badass name! Love both Holloway and Jung Chan-sung and wish Jung well in retirement!
He aimed to be champion and fought for it 3 separate times. Earned his way back up each time but just never took it. Was really rooting for him, but absolute legend nonetheless. His accomplishments are something to really be proud of. I hope he enjoys some good family time now.
My eyes were shedding tears 4 real and it ain't no sand .... When they were singing his song i felt emotional
The first words of the Korean Zombie were " I'll stop.(means retirement)".
The next words were" I thought I would cry, but there are no tears."
But he cried after dropping the gloves and bowing down.
He did his best.
The rush in the 3rd round reminded me of his old brawler style. Indeed he came into Octagon and faded out as a zombie. What a fight!
Thank you for all the great memories Zombie it was an honor to see you fight live and follow your career 🙏🏼
Thank you KZ. Legend. It's a shame UFC cut out the part where you walked out of the cage with the crowd singing The cranberries - zombie. HoF plz and ty.
His military service took away his prime
This made me cry what a legend long live Korean zombie great career in MMA and always banger fights
This is one of the times when it's ok for the men watching this to cry.
이것이 마지막이라니 아쉬움이없지않지만 그동안 걸어오신 발자취에 박수를 보냅니다 국민들의 자랑입니다 이제 후배양성에 힘 쏟아주세요
국민들의 자랑은무슨... 개인스포츠에 국가,국민좀 들이대지마라 국뽕들 진짜 평소엔 격투기 관심도 안가지면서 하여튼 으휴
Really loved watching your fight! Really enjoyed waiting for your fight! Really appreciate that I was able to see your fights! You are LEGEND! I feel bad that I never got to see your fight live in octagon and I will never be.... Enjoy your retirement!
정찬성 선수 정말 수고 많으셨고 정말 감사합니다. 당신은 한국인이라는 이유만으로 제가 UFC를 즐겨보게 해주었고 당신 덕분에 더 많은 한국 UFC선수들을 응원하고 관심가질수 있게 해줬습니다. 코좀의 경기를 보면서 한국인이라는 이유로 관심가지고 보기 시작한 UFC가 코좀을 보기위한 UFC가 되었었네요. 제 해병대 선배인 김동현 선수 그리고 타이틀전을 두번이나 치룬 정찬성선수의 경기를 볼 수 있는 시대에 살아 행복했습니다! 돈 많이 벌어서 언젠간 정찬성선수의 경기를 직접 보러 경기장에 갈 날이 오겠지라고 생각했는데 앞으로 그럴 기회가 없을꺼라는게 너무 슬픕니다 하지만 항상 응원하겠습니다.
제 방에 정찬성선수님의 UFC 피규어가 있습니다. 저는 먼 타지에서 자리잡아 살고있지만 형님의 멋진 경기 영상 계속 찾아보면서 형님의 Last dance를 기억하겠습니다. 그리고 저도 끝까지 열심히 노력하겠습니다. 그동안 정말 감사했습니다!
Korean Zombie will be missed as he's one of the most exciting fighters in the UFC!
KZ thank you for your passionate dedication and commitment to this sport. U are a hero legend from korea. RESPECT
Korean zombie🔥🔥🔥🔥
그 동안 정찬성 선수 보면서 희열도 많이 느꼈고 같이 슬퍼도 했었습니다. 격투기를 사랑하게 해준 정찬성 선수 후회없는 경기 해주셔서 정말 감사합니다.
마지막 경기 팬들과 함께 환호속에 퇴장하는 모습은 마치 영화의 한 장면이였습니다. 당신은 존경받을만한 선수이며 한국에서 다시 찾아보기 힘든 선수를 볼수있어서 영광이였습니다.
제 마음속의 영원한 ufc 넘버원은 코리안 좀비입니다. 정말 수고많으셨습니다.
Korean zombie forever!!!
🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷❤
정말 감사했습니다 한국에서 다시 보기 힘든 선수를 보게 되어 영광이였습니다
he is legend
진짜 정찬성 선수땜에 많은 희열을 느꼈죠
코리안좀비 그리고 닉네임에 어울리는 ufc 테마곡은 영원히 기억될듯
Watching all my favorite UFC fighters retire sucks 😞
Legend's retirement
Incredible crowd singing
There's no more beautiful retirement than this
Man I cried like a baby. Been watching Korean zombie since wec.
Full translation to the best of my ability “I thought that I would be crying right now, but I don’t see any tears. My main goal of fighting is to be a champion, and I thought that I could beat Holloway. I trained very hard for this fight. I am not here to be 3rd, 4th or 5th (ranked), my goal is to be a champion. If I can’t beat the top ranked guys, I need to think that this is the end.”
The send off was perfection and will not be forgotten, the song and this crowd did not fail to deliver one bit
Much love and respect to tkz. Dude is a beast 💪 🔥
I'm too sad like... Such a legend! He always fought with the best!
