The last time Chan Sung Jung stepped into the octagon to compete in something other than a main event bout was December 2011. Jung faced Mark Hominick that night. He knocked out the Canadian fighter in seven seconds. Jung has fought in seven UFC main events since UFC 140. The only fight that went the distance was his loss to Brian Ortega in October. On Saturday, Jung faces Dan Ige in the main event of UFC Vegas 29. Ige enters the bout coming off a 22-second knockout win over Gavin Tucker in March of this year.
Jung’s decision loss to Ortega was one of the worst statistical performances of his career.
