UFC president Dana White has confirmed that the winner of the upcoming featherweight bout between Chan Sung Jung and Brian Ortega will get the next crack at reigning UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski, per a recent interview with Sports Illustrated.
“Yes, I think so,” White said. “First, this kid (The Korean Zombie) has superstar written all over him. He was called into the military in the prime of his career in South Korea. Then he gets out and has that incredible fight with Yair Rodriguez. He gets caught with one second left with that crazy elbow.
