Add the Korean Zombie to the list of people who disagreed with Alexander Volkanovski being the winner against Max Holloway.

Volkanovski retained his featherweight title after a closely-fought rematch with Holloway in the UFC 251 co-main event last night. “The Great” faced early adversity as he was dropped twice by Holloway in the opening two rounds.

While the Aussie did turn things around in the final three stanzas, many felt Holloway did enough to regain the title. In the end, Volkanovski surprisingly earned the split decision verdict to keep his strap.

Zombie: No Judges Needed For My Fight

And the Korean Zombie was not impressed as he took to social media on Sunday.

“I am responding to yesterday’s title match against Volkanovski and Holloway,” Zombie wrote on Instagram. “To be honest, it is shameful that Volkanovski is a champion of my weight class.

“Give him to me then you don’t need to worry about the judges decision. As you know, I won’t let the judges decide the result of my fight. I will finish him at the title match and that is what UFC fans want to watch.”

It would appear that if anyone is next for Volkanovski, it is Zombie who has won three of his last four outings all by way of knockout. He most recently knocked out Frankie Edgar in the UFC Busan headliner in December.

The former title challenger has called out Volkanovski repeatedly in the past and going by this latest social media post, it would certainly be heated affair.

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”

Featherweight contender Brian Ortega has accused Chan Sung Jung AKA ‘The Korean Zombie’ of holding up their proposed fight. Ortega took to social media to tell ‘Korean Zombie’ to stop stalling and sign the contract to fight him, 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.”

The 145lb pair 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 ‘Korean Zombie’ who emerged victorious, stopping Edgar inside one round.

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.
