Brian Ortega questioned the recent callout of Alexander Volkanovski from the Korean Zombie.

Volkanovski defended his featherweight title against Max Holloway in a controversial split decision win in the co-main event of UFC 251 this past weekend.

Many felt Holloway did enough to regain the strap, including Zombie, who notably stated it was shameful that Volkanovski was champion of the featherweight division and called to face him next.

Zombie vs. Ortega?

Of course, Zombie is slated to fight Ortega but recently claimed he couldn’t leave South Korea which is why a contract is yet to be signed.

That is what makes his callout of Volkanovski all the more perplexing for Ortega, who took to Instagram to respond.

“How you gonna say I can’t fight cause I can’t leave my country then say you ready to fight all the sudden ??. I just talked to some of my people they said you can fly to United States and fly to Fight Island . ( by the way they live in Korea too ).

“So straight up you down to fight @danawhite said winner of us gets the tittle shot. If you ain’t down I ain’t trippen @danawhite give me another guy you want to see me fight to earn the title. I don’t want free rides I earn my sh*t.”

If that is true, hopefully we do end up getting to see Zombie vs. Ortega as it is one of many exciting matchups in the 145-pound division.

The pair were originally slated to fight at UFC Busan in December until Ortega had to pull out due to injury.

Would you like to see Zombie vs. Ortega with the winner facing Volkanovski? Or should Zombie face Volkanovski right away?

Korean Zombie Responds To Brian Ortega’s Ducking Accusation

Korean Zombie

Chan Sung Jung who is otherwise known as ‘The Korean Zombie’ has fired back at his bitter rival Brian Ortega who accused him of ducking their eagerly anticipated fight.

The two featherweight contenders were supposed to face off at UFC Busan in December 2019. Unfortunately, Ortega suffered a torn ACL and was forced out of the fight. Former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar replaced him. On fight night it was Jung who emerged victorious, stopping Edgar inside one round.

Since then ‘Korean Zombie’ and Ortega have become embroiled in a bitter feud that reached boiling point when ‘T-City’ slapped the musician friend to Jung, Jay Park at UFC 248.

Speaking to ESPN last month UFC president Dana White revealed he is working on rebooking Ortega vs. ‘Korean Zombie’, he said.

“Ortega and The Korean Zombie are gonna fight. You know how I just went out and said (about the Tony) Ferguson fight against (Justin) Gaethje, I said ‘I absolutely, positively guarantee you that this fight will be great. That’s the same thing with Brian Ortega vs. The Korean Zombie, there’s no way this fight is boring. And the guy that comes out of that fight would be next in line for a title shot.” (Transcribed by MMA Fighting)

Those negotiations appear to have come to a standstill, something Ortega is not too happy with. The 29-year-old recently took to social media to tell Jung to hurry up and sign the contract, he wrote.

“Someone tell Korean zombie sign the contract. You been asked multiple times already. Give the fans what they want to see and quit stalling.

Jung responded via Instagram to his rival’s accusation, he wrote.

“I am sure you are aware why I can’t go to the states at this time. If you would come to Korea, I am ready even in July. Otherwise, stay calm waiting for me. #seeyousoon”

Since their canceled bout Ortega and Jung have built up one of the biggest beefs in MMA. The rivalry became violent at UFC 248 when ‘T-City’ slapped Korean musician Jay Park who is a friend of Jung who had acted as a translator during his interviews too.

Ariel Helwani of ESPN broke details of the incident on his social media, he wrote.

“Korean music artist Jay Park, who served as Chan Sung Jung’s translator during his recent appearance on the show, was slapped by Brian Ortega during tonight’s event, Park tells me. A scuffle ensued and then broken up. Ortega took issue with Park’s translation on the show.”

“Park told me Ortega went up to him while Korean Zombie went to the bathroom and asked if he was Jay Park. Park said yes and, according to Park, Ortega slapped open palm slapped him.”

Since this incident Ortega has apologized despite seeming reluctant to do so at first.  Things have been quiet on both sides until now. Ortega is clearly ready to settle this beef once and for all – he just needs ‘The Korean Zombie’ to sign the contract.
