Sitting out since suffering the first loss of his MMA career last December, top UFC featherweight contender Brian Ortega is targeting a main event fight against “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung next.
There were talks of a fight between Ortega and Jung headlining the UFC’s upcoming card in Mexico City in September, however nothing ever materialised and instead Yair Rodriguez will headline the card against Jeremy Stephens.
Talking recently to MMA Fighting, Ortega discussed the Mexico City fight with “The Korean Zombie” that fell through.
“In my head it was great. ‘Korean [Zombie]’ was talking smack,” Ortega said.
