UFC Vegas 29: Chan Sung Jung Bests Dan Ige In Main Event

Chan Sung Jung showed he can go the distance, securing a five-round victory over Dan Ige at UFC Vegas 29 Saturday night.

Jung, better known as “The Korean Zombie,” swept the three scorecards live on ESPN2 and ESPN+ from Las Vegas.

With the win, the 34-year-old Jung has won three of his last four around a five-round decision setback to Brian Ortega last year. He is 17-6 overall.

Sergey Spivak topped Aleksei Oleinik in the co-main event, earning a decision victory to remain on the cusp of title contention at heavyweight.

Marlon Vera, Seung Woo Choi, Bruno Silva and Matt Brown were other main card winners.

Brown, the veteran and one of the bigger names on the card, stopped Dhiego Lima in the first round to begin the main card.

Nicolae Negumereanu, Virna Jandiroba, Khaos Williams, Josh Parisian, Rick Glenn and Casey O’Neill were other winners.

Vera and Davey Grant earned “Fight of the Night” with Brown and Choi securing “Performance of the Night” bonuses.
