Frankie Edgar vs. ‘Korean Zombie’ headlines UFC Denver, Cerrone vs. Perry also booked

A pair of thrilling bouts are headed to where it all started for the UFC’s 25th anniversary event.

A pivotal featherweight fight between Frankie Edgar and Chan Sung Jung is set to headline UFC Fight Night 139 in Denver later this year, ESPN’s Brett Okamoto reported Friday evening. Also booked for the card is a welterweight clash between Donald Cerrone and Mike Perry, per Okamoto.

Edgar last defeated Cub Swanson in a rematch by decision at UFC Fight Night 128 in April. Prior to that, the former UFC lightweight champion was stopped for the first time of his veteran career in a title eliminator against Brian Ortega at UFC 222.
