Dennis Bermudez on loss to Korean Zombie: I thought the stoppage ‘was a little bit early’

The UFC Houston main event ended fairly early, as featherweight contender Dennis Bermudez was dropped by a Chan Sung Jung uppercut, and The Korean Zombie came away with a round 1 KO win in less than three minutes. For Jung, who recently completed his two-year mandatory military service in South Korea, this was first fight since losing to Jose Aldo in August 2013, and his first win since stopping Dustin Poirier in 2012.

In the post-fight press conference, Bermudez believed that Herb Dean’s decision to stop Saturday’s fight was a premature call, even though he was trying to take Dean down.
