We now know what caused popular featherweight Chan Sung Jung to step aside from his anticipated UFC 214 fight with Ricardo Lamas.
Word surfaced Friday, initially reported by MMA analyst Robin Black, that “The Korean Zombie” had to pull out of the Aug. 29 fight due to an undisclosed injury. MMAFighting.com’s Ariel Helwani has confirmed the withdrawal and learned that a knee injury was the cause of the change in plans.
Admired by fans for his exciting fight style, Jung (14-4) has not been able to compete nearly as much as he might like in recent years.
