With the zombie apocalypse in full effect, Chan Sung Jung, the “Korean Zombie,” is ready to oust Jose Aldo and take over the featherweight division.
The popular South Korean star has been nothing short of amazing in three spectacular wins over Dustin Poirier, Mark Hominick and Leonard Garcia.
It has been entertaining to watch Jung blossom into a featherweight contender.
Against Garcia, he earned submission of the year at the World MMA Awards by locking in the first-ever twister submission in UFC history.
At UFC 140, he silenced his boxing critics with a seven-second knockout of Hominick, a former UFC title contender.
Perhaps Jung’s best performance was his Round 4 submission victory over Poirier, in May.
Poirier, who was seen as a legit threat to Aldo’s reign, was completely handled in a bout that represented a true coming-out party for the Korean Zombie.
With the win over Poirier, Jung is riding a tidal wave of confidence, and despite possibly being another fight away from a title shot, he already has his eyes set on Aldo.
In a post on Twitter, Jung called out one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the world:
I want Jose Aldo. I will end his reign as a Champion.

In any case, Aldo has seemed virtually unstoppable since his WEC debut in June 2008.
Can Jung succeed where so many others have failed?
