The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) will be returning to Houston, Texas for Super Bowl weekend. The main event of the UFC Fight Night event on Feb. 4 features a featherweight battle between Dennis Bermudez and the returning Chan Sung Jung.

Promotion for the card is in full swing. The official YouTube channel of the UFC has uploaded a free fight showcasing Bermudez’s destruction of Jimy Hettes. “The Menace” and “The Kid” went toe-to-toe at UFC 171 back in March 2014.

The opening minutes of the first round were competitive. Hettes landed some left hands, but it didn’t bother Bermudez. “The Menace” was able to get Hettes to the ground. “The Kid” scrambled, but Bermudez threatened with a guillotine.

Bermudez’s pressure started to get to Hettes in the second stanza. He ripped away at Hettes with knees to the body. Bermudez dropped his opponent and rained down hammerfists. “The Kid” was able to survive the second round.

Round three was the end for Hettes. Bermudez chopped away with leg kicks. A knee sent Hettes crashing down the canvas for the final time. The fight was stopped and “The Menace’s” winning streak was extended to six.

After the bout, Bermudez would go on to win three of his next five fights. After being stopped by Ricardo Lamas and Jeremy Stephens in back-to-back losses, Bermudez got back on track with two straight wins.

He threw leather with Tatsuya Kawajiri back in Feb. 2016. “The Menace” won the fight by unanimous decision. He then did battle with Rony Jason on a UFC card in Salt Lake City. Bermudez emerged victories with another unanimous decision.

The UFC Fight Night event in Houston will be held inside the Toyota center. The co-main event will see rising strawweight Alexa Grasso undergo her most stern test to date. She goes one-on-one with Felice Herrig.

Kenny Florian Wants to see Yair Rodriguez Fight Either ‘Korean Zombie’ or Dennis Bermudez

Fresh off his deconstruction of BJ Penn, Yair Rodriguez sits in an interesting situation.

The former Ultimate Fighter: Latin America winner was expected to beat Penn, but with the way he did it, Rodriguez definitely left an impression.

So now, what’s next? “UFC Tonight’s” Kenny Florian tackled that issue Wednesday night.

“The winner of ‘Korean Zombie’ (Chan Sung Jung) and Dennis Bermudez,” Florian said. “Bermudez is an exciting fighter and has a wrestler background, and I’d like to see the striker Yair face a top wrestler. And Korean Zombie is always moving forward and applying pressure, which would be a challenge as well.”

Jung and Bermudez meet next month, which would line up for Rodriguez later this spring.

With UFC’s final event of 2016 officially in the books following Friday night’s UFC 207: Nunes vs. Rousey pay-per-view event in Las Vegas, Nevada, UFC began their look ahead to 2017 by releasing the official trailer for their UFC Fight Night 104 event in February.

Featured above is the official UFN 104 video trailer, which features a look at the event featuring Dennis Bermudez versus the returning “Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung in the headline bout.

UFC Fight Night 104: Bermudez vs. Korean Zombie is scheduled to go down live on Saturday, February 4, 2017 from the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, airing live and free on FOX Sports 1 (FS1).

Korean Zombie Return Likely for Super Bowl Weekend Main Event vs Bermudez

He’s back!

After taking over three years off from MMA for his mandatory South Korean military service, it looks like”The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung is returning to the UFC in style. Ariel Helwani is reporting at MMAFighting that Zombie vs. #8 featherweight contender Dennis Bermudez is the likely main event of the February 4th UFC Fight Night in Houston as part of Super Bowl weekend. It would be the 29 year old Jung’s first fight in a whopping 42 months, having last competed in a losing effort to then-champion Jose Aldo at UFC 163 on August 3, 2013.

The Korean Zombie got his nickname for his ability to walk through shots, and instantly made himself a fan favorite in his American debut, a wild brawl with Leonard Garcia in the featured prelim of the Aldo vs. Urijah Faber card. The #5 featherweight contender at the time of his hiatus, he had gotten his title shot as a late replacement coming off a 14 and a half month layoff. While he looked off and flat during that bout, that’s an outlier in his career as one of the sport’s best action fighters. With Bermudez, who’s also known for wild fights, as Zombie’s probable first opponent back, it seems like the UFC is banking on a class action fight of a main event for Super Bowl weekend.
