Chan Sung Jung [1] and Brian Ortega [2] have been trading verbal shots over the last year or so, and that intensity was on display at today’s ceremonial weigh-ins for UFC Fight Island 6.
‘The Korean Zombie’ and Ortega face-off
‘The Korean Zombie’ and Ortega were originally supposed to fight in December, 2019, but Ortega had to drop out due to a knee injury. Jung (16-5) wound up facing Frankie Edgar and stopped the legend in the opening round.
Jung proceeded to take some verbal pokes at Ortega in the coming weeks about ‘T-City’ pulling out of their bout. That spiked tensions and it led to Ortega (14-1) allegedly slapping Jung’s buddy and translator, Jay Park. [3]
Well, the two are set to throw down in the headliner of UFC Fight Island 6 tomorrow, and you can check out their face-off at the ceremonial weigh-ins below.
The champ awaits 🏆
