Fans packed inside the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas were excited to see the return of “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung in the main event where he threw down with fellow featherweight Dennis Bermudez.
Jung closed the distance right off the bat and landed some nice power shots, but Bermudez fired off some jabs that landed from a distance. Bermudez cracked Jung with an overhand left that wobbled him, to which Bermudez followed up by pressing him against the fence. Bermudez backed off and conserved his energy, resetting in the middle of the octagon.
Jung stuffed all of Bermudez’s takedown attempts and pressed forward with an aggressive, confident stance. He cracked Bermudez with an uppercut that stunned and dropped him; Jung dropped down for the finish and Herb Dean pulled him off for the win!
