Chan Sung Jung and Dan Ige
‘The Korean Zombie’ Chan Sung Jung is all set to make his comeback inside the Octagon after losing his title shot against Brian Ortega in his last fight. According to sources, Brett Okamoto tweeted that Korean Zombie is booked to face Dan Ige to headline the UFC Fight Night on June 19th.
Dan Ige is ranked number 8th in the Featherweight division right now and he is coming in this fight with a spectacular first-round knockout win against Gavin Tucker in his last fight at UFC Fight Night: Edwards vs Muhammad.
Ige knocked out Tucker in just 22 seconds of the very first round and after that fight, he called out the Korean Zombie to face him in his next match-up. He only lost one of his last eight fights that is against Calvin Kattar.
With a win against Zombie, he will look forward to inch closer to the title shot. The Korean Zombie is coming in this fight with a loss against Brian Ortega that also took the title shot away from him.
He won three of his last five fights, with his other loss coming against Yair Rodriguez. Now Alexander Volkanovski and Brian Ortega will face each other at the finale of The Ultimate Fighter. This is a good opportunity for Korean Zombie to come back in title contender ship.
Dan Ige is finally getting the fight he deserved
Dan Ige is one of the rising contenders in the Featherweight division and after his latest win he called out any higher-ranked opponent to face him next and the name he has in his mind first is the Korean Zombie.
Chan Sung Jung is ready for his challenge and this is going to be a match between two of the hardest hitters in the division. Let’s see who will emerge as a winner in this one.
