Chan Sung Jung was on top of his game in front of the home folks, and as a result, he received a little boost to his bank account.
“The Korean Zombie” garnered a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus for his first-round technical knockout win over Frankie Edgar in the UFC Fight Night 165 headliner in Busan, South Korea, on Saturday. After dominating the entire fight, Jung finished off the former lightweight champion with a multi-punch combination and follow-up ground strikes at the 3:18 mark of Round 1.
Elsewhere, Charles Jourdain and Doo Ho Choi received “Fight of the Night” honors and $50,000 apiece for their wild bantamweight scrap.
