The Korean Zombie wants a title shot against new UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski next, but he has three other opponents in mind as well.<\/p>\n

The Korean Zombie recently knocked out Frankie Edgar in the first round at UFC Busan<\/a>, upping his record to 3-1 since returning to MMA in 2017 after a four-year mandatory military service layoff. He also has knockout wins over Renato Moicano and Dennis Bermudez and a KO loss to Yair Rodriguez since his return.<\/p>\n

Speaking to MMAjunkie.com<\/a> recently, The Korean Zombie listed some possible opponents for his next fight. Here’s what he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, other than Volkanovski, I\u2019m thinking Zabit Magomedsharipov, Brian Ortega, or Max Holloway. If I\u2019m not able to contend for the title shot, then I\u2019d like to face one of the three,” he said.<\/p>\n

According to The Korean Zombie, he is currently in talks with the UFC matchmakers for his next fight. He said that he’s speaking to Dana White, Sean Shelby and other top UFC brass about his next fight, but couldn’t reveal who that opponent is just yet, only that his next fight is going to be a lot of fun.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not sure. I\u2019m already hearing words coming from the UFC. The conversations Sean Shelby, Dana White, and more are having, I can\u2019t reveal everything. All I know is that it\u2019s just going to be a whole lot of fun,” he said.<\/p>\n

Regardless of who The Korean Zombie fights next, his ultimate goal is to become the UFC featherweight champion. Everything he’s doing is to get to that point, to win the belt and hold it for a long time. If he gets a title shot against Volkanovski next, great. But if he doesn’t get the title shot next he’s probably just one win away.<\/p>\n
