Jung, the South Korean sensation, makes his return to the octagon following his title fight loss to Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 273. After taking a hiatus to recuperate from injuries and regain his mental composure, Jung is rejuvenated and ready to showcase his signature aggressive fighting style. Known for his relentless pursuit of victory and captivating performances, “The Korean Zombie” is primed to remind the world why he earned that moniker.
