UFC Vegas 29: Chan Sung Jung vs Dan Ige
‘The Korean Zombie’ is coming off a rather lopsided UD loss to Brian Ortega in his last fight back in October. The fight was a number one contender’s fight that saw ‘T-City’ propel himself into a title fight against Volkanovski. Jung was on a tear prior to the loss and will be looking to regain his footing as one of the top contenders.
The 34-year-old’s resume speaks for itself in many regards and his legendary pressure has crippled opponents in the past. Not to mention, he’s slick on the ground as well, capable of pulling off Twisters and Brabo chokes. Dan Ige will have to be wary of stepping into the pocket against Chan Sung Jung as he’s extremely accurate in close range.

’50K’ Ige: Putting on a show
Dan Ige is 7-1 in his last 8 outings since 2018 and is easily one of the most improved fighters in the division. He knocked out Gavin Tucker in his last fight and showed that his defeat to Calvin Kattar wasn’t a major setback. He has the opportunity to jump into the number 4 spot if he pulls off the win against the Zombie.
