Renato Carneiro Believes a Win Over 'The Korean Zombie' Puts Him Back in Title Contention

Featherweight Renato Carneiro will headline against Chan Sung Jung at UFC Greenville on June 22. The 30-year-old Brazilian is coming off of a February loss to Jose Aldo and, despite the setback, feels that a win against "The Korean Zombie" puts him right back in the hunt for a title shot. "After that win, I will come back to be a contender, you know, and show everybody how good I am," Carneiro told The Score's James Lynch.

"Moicano" is currently ranked fifth in the Ultimate Fighting Championship's featherweight listing, with his main event partner sitting in at No.
