It was as if Chan Sung Jung never left.
In his first Ultimate Fighting Championship appearance in more than three years, “The Korean Zombie” knocked out Dennis Bermudez with a right uppercut and follow-up punches in the UFC Fight Night 104 “Korean Zombie vs. Bermudez” headliner on Saturday at the Toyota Center in Houston. Bermudez (16-6, 9-3 UFC) crashed and burned 2:49 into Round 1, the loss snapping his modest two-fight winning streak.
Jung (14-4, 4-1 UFC), who last fought on Aug. 3, 2013, did not find smooth sailing initially. Bermudez rattled him with an overhand right inside the first minute and made his move on a potential finish.
