LAS VEGAS – A dominant performance that led to a second-round finish wasn’t enough to shake UFC middleweight Junyong Park ’s concerns. On the prelims of UFC Fight Night 213 at UFC Apex, Park (15-5 MMA, 5-2 UFC) submitted Joseph Holmes with a rear-naked choke to record his second straight victory. As Park’s corner began to celebrate at the moment of the stoppage, the South Korean middleweight motioned for them to quiet down. What seemed like a “humble in victory, humble in defeat” moment after tapping Holmes (8-3 MMA, 1-2 UFC), Park later revealed his actions had a much deeper meaning. While he usually embodies the previous phrase regardless, this time was different. “There’s been a tragedy not too long ago in Korea, and as much as I want to celebrate, I’m holding back,” Park told reporters through an interpreter at the post-fight news conference.
