A key featherweight bout between ‘The Korean Zombie’ Chan Sung Jung and former lightweight title holder Frankie Edgar headlines today’s UFC Busan event.<\/p>\n
Jung (15-5 MMA) was initially slated to face Brian Ortega at today’s event. However, the California native suffered an injury and was thus forced out of the contest.<\/p>\n
Stepping up to save the event was none other than former UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar. ‘The Answer’ had plans on dropping to bantamweight for his next Octagon<\/a> appearance, but opted to step in for Ortega instead.<\/p>\n ‘The Korean Zombie’ was last seen in action at June’s UFC event in Greenville, where he scored a first round TKO<\/a> victory over perennial division contender Renato Moicano.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Frankie Edgar (22-7-1 MMA) will be looking to rebound, this after falling short in his title effort against Max Holloway at UFC 240 this past July. Prior to his setback to ‘Blessed’, Edgar was coming off his second career victory over Cub Swanson.<\/p>\n Round one of the UFC Busan main event begins and Zombie misses with a right hand.
