“Glad he’s getting his flowers” – The Korean Zombie’s new customised WEC X UFC special belt warms hearts of fans

The Korean Zombie left the octagon for the last time after his UFC Singapore appearance against Max Holloway. It was an emotional night for Chan Sung Jung as he made his walkout to the fans chanting his infamous Zombie song. After a month that moment, Sung Jung revealed a custom-made belt to his fans on social media.

In the video online, Sung Jung showed a glimpse of the belt. The belt consisted of WEC and UFC as the side plates. WEC was one of the other promotions where the Korean Zombie received fame. However, there’ve been no reports on who gifted the belt, but the fans were overwhelmed to see such a beautiful present. Many fans on Twitter shared their reaction. A fan even commented on the post, saying, “I’m glad he’s getting his flowers.“

Zombie has some great memories in the UFC, with wins against the likes of Dustin Poirier, Mark Hommick, and Frankie Edgar. He has also challenged for the featherweight title twice in his entire career. Sung Jung’s debut in the WEC came back in 2010. However, his spotlight appearances were because of his bouts against Leonard Garcia. Both fighters faced each other in both promotions, WEC and UFC.

Many fans were on this journey with The Korean Zombie and believed that the fighter didn’t get the props he deserved. But, at the end of his career, many recognized the dedication behind the Korean Zombie and gave him the respect he deserved.
