Brian Ortega out of UFC Busan main event against ‘Korean Zombie’ Chan Sung Jung

The upcoming main event at UFC Fight Night in Busan, South Korea, has taken a major hit after Brian Ortega suffered a knee injury that has forced him out of his fight against “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung.

According to Ortega, he suffered a partial tear of his ACL in training and while it isn’t serious enough to warrant reconstructive knee surgery, he will still be forced to the sidelines for two to three months to recover.

“I tore my ACL in training and I won’t be fighting in Korea,” Ortega wrote on Instagram.
