The bad-blood rivalry between Brian Ortega and Chan Sung Jung seems far away from being settled at this point. Ortega has already called out The Korean Zombie wants to settle matters in the Octagon. However, Chan Sung Jung is yet to respond to Brian Ortega’s offer.

The string of online call-outs began amongst the notable MMA fighters after the materialization of UFC 251. While most of the MMA fans seemingly expressed their disapproval towards Alexander Volkanovski’s win over Max Holloway, The Korean Zombie also expressed his dissent over the results of UFC 251 co-main event.

Chan Sung Jung newly claimed that it is “shameful” to have Alexander Volkanovski as the 145 lbs champion. And so, he has expressed his interest in encountering the Australian soon. Not only that, but Chan Sung Jung also promised that he would not take the fight to the judges’ scorecard and would possibly finish Alexander Volkanovski inside the octagon. Although ‘The Great’ Alexander Volkanovski has not responded to The Korean Zombie, Brian Ortega has already set his eyes over him along with a massive Internet call out.
