Brian Ortega targets ‘The Korean Zombie’ in a main event fight for his return to the UFC

Brian Ortega is ready to book his next fight in the UFC and he knows exactly who he’d like to face.

Rumors swirled for several weeks that Ortega was going to meet “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung at the upcoming UFC Fight Night card in Mexico City. Unfortunately, the fight never came together, and the UFC opted for a featherweight fight between Yair Rodriguez and Jeremy Stephens as the headliner for the show.

While Ortega didn’t get into too many specifics, he confirmed when speaking to MMA Fighting this past weekend that he was preparing for that fight against Jung in Mexico City when the matchup fell apart.
