It was a spectacular night for the fans in South Korea as their hero, Chan Sung Jung or better known as the Korean Zombie takes on UFC veteran, Frankie Edgar in the main event of UFC Busan. Props to the former lightweight champion for taking on the fight on such short notice but that decision cost him dearly as he suffered another devastating KO loss in the featherweight division.
Korean Zombie entered the octagon with the loudest cheer from the fans and he did not disappoint them for sure. Chan Sung Jung started the fight looking for a finish and he got it at 3:18 of round 1.

Korean Zombie got Edgar in trouble after a beautiful combination. Edgar was hurt and he looked for a takedown to recover and avoid more damage. However, he found himself in more trouble on the ground. Chan Sung Jung flattened Edgar on the ground and was very close to getting the rear-naked choke. Edgar did survive the submission but only to get dropped again by an uppercut and followed by a left hook from Korean Zombie.

Korean Zombie Calls For Title Shot
The Korean fans blew the roof of the arena cheering for their favorite mixed martial artist. Chan Sung Jung did what he was expected to do and later on called out the newly crowned champion, Alexander Volkanovski. This win over Frankie Edgar certainly takes him very close to the title shot. However, with contenders such as Yair Rodriguez and Zabit Magamedsharipov in the division, he is unlikely to get the next crack at the title.

As far as Frankie Edgar is concerned, it was another loss in the featherweight division. It’s safe to say that we have already seen the best of Edgar and he is not the same fighter who outclassed BJ Penn. However, fans were hoping to see a new Edgar in the bantamweight division. After another loss in the featherweight division, it’s safe to say that Bantamweight is the only answer for the former lightweight champion.
