Chan Sung Jung is going to throw hands with Brian Ortega today at UFC Fight Island 6, in a contest hardcore fans have likely had marked down on their calendars for months.
If you’re new to MMA, or are a casual fan and aren’t overly familiar with Jung, well, the UFC’s shared out a promo trailer for ‘The Korean Zombie’ then you should check out.
Early on into Jung’s career, he picked up ‘The Korean Zombie’ nickname, due to his pressuring style and ability to absorb an incredible amount of punishment.
While the South Korean fighter was a noted finisher when he arrived in the WEC/UFC, over the years, he’s taken his boxing and defense to new levels. As a result, ‘The Korean Zombie’ is more dangerous than ever.
The 33-year-old has gone 6-2 in his UFC run to date, and he’s scored finishes in all six of his victories.
Here is the complete line-up for today’s UFC card, which is going down on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi (via MMA Mania).
