A featherweight bout between ‘The Korean Zombie’ Chan Sung Jung and former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar headlined today’s UFC Busan event.<\/p>\n
Jung (15-5 MMA) was originally scheduled to face Brian Ortega at today’s event. However, the California native suffered an injury<\/a> and was thus forced to pull out of the contest.<\/p>\n Stepping up on short-notice 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 replace Ortega versus Jung instead.<\/p>\n ‘The Korean Zombie’ was most previously 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) entered today’s headliner 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 Today’s UFC Busan main event proved to be a one-sided affair as ‘TKZ’ was able to rock Edgar early in the opening round and used that momentum to close out the fight with a TKO shortly thereafter. <\/p>\n Official UFC Busan Result: Korean Zombie def.
