If ever there was an award that was obvious the second it happened, it would be 2018’s Knockout of the Year.
Chan Sung Jung, aka “The Korean Zombie,” known for being in some of the sport’s greatest fights in recent years, was on the verge of winning a potential Fight of the Year candidate against Yair Rodriguez at the UFC’s 25th anniversary show on Nov. 10 in Denver.
The Zombie, who was given his colorful nickname for his seemingly supernatural ability to walk through punches, had long before become a big fan favorite for his legendary WEC fight with Leonard Garcia.
