Check out the current card for this weekend’s UFC event in South Korea.
The UFC is taking the Octagon over to Asia for an event in South Korea, and the show has a relatively new main event. The card was built around a fight between former featherweight title challengers Chan Sung Jung (aka The Korean Zombie) and Brian Ortega. Unfortunately Ortega suffered a serious knee injury while training for the bout, so he has been replaced by former lightweight champ Frankie Edgar.
In addition to that, UFC Busan will feature a battle between light heavyweight contenders in Volkan Oezdemir and Aleksandar Rakic, and the return of the Korean Superboy, Doo Ho Choi.
