When Frankie Edgar saw a chance to face “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung on short notice, he jumped at the opportunity.
An injury had prevented Edgar from fighting Jung for a previously scheduled clash in 2018, and he hoped to right that wrong in the first-ever UFC event in Busan, South Korea. Instead, the former lightweight champion suffered a first-round TKO and returned to his home in New Jersey with a broken orbital bone.
As much as it stings to lose any fight, regardless of timing, Edgar refuses to get down because the result didn’t go his way.
