The Korean Zombie's translator left out a part of the fighter's message
UFC 273’s main event was surely a bitter-sweet moment for MMA fans. To see The Korean Zombie lose in such fashion was never pleasing to the eyes. Following his loss to Alexander Volkanovski, Chan Sung Jung spoke his heart out which sure did put tears in many fans’ eyes. However, the translator of the fighter did not reveal the entire message according to fans online.
The Korean Zombie was presented with the second opportunity with a shot at the featherweight title yesterday against the featherweight champion from Australia, Alexander Volkanovski. Chan Sung Jung has always been a fan favorite and has never failed to entertain the fans with his performances inside the octagon.
Zombie headlined the pay-per-view event UFC 273 alongside Volkanovski in the main event. The fight took place at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida and the entire arena was sure emotional after seeing TKZ lose. Zombie lost via TKO in the fourth round after being beaten down for the first three.
In his post-fight press conference with Joe Rogan, Zombie thanked his fans and gave out an emotional message. No doubt that the translator of the fighter had a hard time translating given the moment. “I was the most confident out of my entire career, I was never tired, I was ready. But it felt like I hit a wall I could not go over,” said Zombie to his translator in the octagon interview.

Fans reveal an important message that Korean Zombie’s translator missed out
“After every loss I always think about leaving the octagon, leaving this MMA game. But, I will need more time to think about it and see if I would continue fighting or leave the octagon,” said the translator who suggested that Chan Sung Jung might finally consider hanging his gloves after what has been a glorious career.
However, an important message that the translator missed out on was that TKZ felt like he was never going to be a champion again in the UFC. TKZ has been with the UFC for more than 10 years and has been a part of some of the most amazing fights ever. He has a record of 17-7-0.
