On Saturday night, in the main event of the UFC’s 25th anniversary show in Denver, Colorado, fan favorite featherweight contenders Yair Rodriguez and “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung co-authored an instant classic.<\/p>\n

It was an absolutely wild affair that nearly lasted the full five rounds. Yet as the final seconds melted off the clock, The Korean Zombie, decisively ahead on the scorecards, was put down by one of the most ridiculous elbow-strikes ever \u2014 with just a single second left in the fight.<\/p>\n

Relieve this incredible Yair Rodriguez vs. Korean Zombie fight in the video above.<\/p>\n

With his epic win over Chan Sung Jung, Yair Rodriguez rebounded from a May 2017 loss to Frankie Edgar \u2014 his last trip into the Octagon. He\u2019s now a strong 11-2 overall, with seven of those wins occurring in the Octagon.<\/p>\n

The Korean Zombie, meanwhile, returns to the loss column after a blistering,\u00a0first-round knockout defeat Dennis Bermudez<\/a>. He\u2019s now 14-5 overall.<\/p>\n

Post-fight, both men released thoughtful statements on their respective performances.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have an excuse,\u201d\u00a0The Korean Zombie said in his post-fight statement (translation via Google Translate).\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m so sorry for all the people who helped me.. Thank you.. I\u2019m congratulations to those who hate me. I haven\u2019t been able to get on the plane yet, so I\u2019m going to be in Korea for a few days. It\u2019s a shame, but.. I\u2019ll go back and see you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yair Rodriguez’s statement, which was much longer, and included thanks to his teammates and coaching staff, can be read here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
