Chan Sung Jung vs. Dennis Bermudez in the works for Feb. 4 in Houston

While former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) featherweight title challenger Chan Sung Jung will not be taking on B.J. Penn like he wished, "The Korean Zombie" will make his return to the Octagon opposite 145-pound mainstay Dennis Bermudez at UFC Fight Night 104 on Feb. 4 in Houston, T.X., as part of the promotion's Super Bowl weekend show, per a report by MMA Fighting.

The featherweight showdown is expected to serve as the main event.

Jung, 29, hasn't competed since losing his lone UFC championship bid opposite Jose Aldo at UFC 163. The South Korean native has been serving a mandatory two-year military term that has put his mixed martial arts (MMA) career on ice.
