Despite being the betting underdog, longtime featherweight contender Chan Sung Jung, better known as The Korean Zombie, picked up a unanimous decision victory over Dan Ige over the weekend in the featured bout of a UFC Fight Night event in Las Vegas.
Jung bounced back from a unanimous decision loss to Brian Ortega in October 2020, while Ige has now dropped five-round decisions in two of his past three outings.
Jung was ranked as the No. 4 contender at 145 pounds behind champion Alexander Volkanovski, former champ Max Holloway, Ortega and Yair Rodriguez who Jung lost to in 2018.
Welterweight fan favourite Matt Brown, bantamweight Marlon Vera, rising featherweight Seung Woo Choi and impressive strawweight Virna Jandiroba also picked up notable wins on the card.
