Chan Sung Jung, 'The Korean Zombie,' is one of the most beloved action fighters of his generation, a featherweight who earned his nickname by walking through punishment and pressing forward without pause. He produced a string of unforgettable wars and highlight moments, including the first twister submission in UFC history and a stunning knockout of former champion Frankie Edgar.
He challenged for the title twice, falling to Jose Aldo and later Alexander Volkanovski, and became the biggest star Korean MMA has produced. After an emotional retirement loss to Max Holloway in front of his home-region crowd in 2023, he stepped away as a fan favorite remembered for heart, drama and relentless pressure.
