<p>Two of UFC featherweight champion&nbsp;Alexander Volkanovski's victims in 2022 will meet when Max Holloway takes on&nbsp;Chan Sung Jung on August 26.</p>

<p>Jung, known as The Korean Zombie, was knocked out by Volkanovski in April of last year, and American Holloway lost by decision for a third time against the same opponent three months later.</p>

<p>Of the pair, only Holloway has fought since – returning to winning ways by defeating Arnold Allen via unanimous decision in Missouri in April.</p>

<p>That victory meant Dustin Poirier is the only fighter apart from Volkanovski to have beaten Holloway in more than 10 years and 21 bouts.</p>

<p>Jung's unsuccessful title challenge against Volkanovski followed a decision win over&nbsp;Dan Ige in Las Vegas in June 2021.</p>

<p>The defeat to Volkanovsi took the 36-year-old's record to four defeats from his last 11 fights, including three of his last six.</p>
