Henry Cejudo and The Korean Zombie send a message for Alexander Volkanovski
The Korean Zombie is ready to take the throne from Alexander Volkanovski and Henry Cejudo is helping the UFC featherweight title contender make that come true.
Alexander Volkanovski faces a very difficult challenge on April 9th as he takes on one of the finest featherweights to ever do it. Chan Sung Jung aka The Korean Zombie has a huge mountain to climb in UFC 273. The fighter will headline the pay-per-view event held at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida.
Ahead of his title fight, The Zombie had reached out to former two-division champion, Olympic medalist, Henry Cejudo to help in train. Triple C has agreed to train Korean Zombie and also help the fighter with trash talking ahead of the bout. Chan Sung Jung is not the first title contender that Cejudo has helped train in recent times. Triple C has also taken fighters like Deiveson Figueiredo and Zhang Weili, under his wing.
In his latest Instagram post, Cejudo posted a picture of the featherweight and him on the training mat. He also had a message for Volkanovski. “[We] are coming for your oversized head Alexandre ‘The Average’,” wrote Cejudo in his post. The Korean Zombie also resonated with the same energy and also commented on it. Check out the post below:
The Korean Zombie praises Henry Cejudo for his role as a coach
Henry has become a main part of the Fight Ready team. The former champ has helped a lot of fighters develop their fight game and recently even helped Brazilian Deivson Figueiredo reclaim his throne as the flyweight champion against Brandon Moreno. Cejudo is also helping former champs like Zhang Weili, Jon Jones, and Cris Cyborg with their training.
In a recent interview with MMA Fighting, Chan Sung Jung explained how he was surprised by Cejudo’s fighting intelligence. “He has been helping me out so much. He’s been at every practice, every team meeting that we have. He’s actually doing sparring rounds. Super grateful,” said The Korean Zombie on Cejudo. “I didn’t realize he was so intelligent fight IQ-wise.”
Zombie is coming off a win against Dan Ige and is currently the #4 title contender. Do you think he can become the champion next week?
