Ortega and Chan Sung Jung have a simmering rivalry which reached
the next level last month. ‘Korean Zombie’ appeared on the Ariel Helwani Show
and had some choice words for the former title challenger via his translator
Park. He accused Ortega of ducking him.
The 145lb contenders were supposed to meet at UFC Busan in
December however the fight fell through at late notice with Ortega citing an
injury, Korean Zombie instead fought and beat Frankie Edgar in his homeland.
Ortega is apparently still annoyed about the comments and directed his anger at Park. According to eyewitnesses Ortega approached Park and slapped him whilst ‘Korean Zombie’ was in the bathroom. Ortega was kicked out of UFC 248 and could face further repercussions for his actions.
According to the manager of ‘Korean Zombie’, Jason House of Idrium Sports Agency a police report has been filed against Ortega. In a statement to MMA Junkie House explained the UFC had requested both fighters behave appropriately at UFC 248, something his fighter honored throughout the night, he said.
“Both teams were contacted prior to
last night’s event and were asked by the UFC to be respectful and to not have
any confrontations,” House wrote. “Our team respected the UFC’s request and
maintained our professionalism throughout the night. Police reports were filed
immediately after the incident occurred and now it’s a matter for law
enforcement officials to handle. Korean Zombie has always been a class act and
will continue to be. Our objective remains the same; to put ourselves in the
best position both inside and outside the cage to become the featherweight
champion this year.”

The Korean Zombie has delivered a scathing message to Brian Ortega.
Following UFC 248 on Saturday night, Dana White revealed that the pair had gotten into a fight in the crowd. Many initially believed Zombie and Ortega got physical with each other.
However, it was later reported that once Zombie went to the bathroom, Ortega went up to his friend and musician Jay Park and slapped him. Ortega’s issue was with Park’s translation of Zombie’s previous comments about him.
That unsurprisingly didn’t go down well with Zombie one bit as he took to Facebook to respond to Ortega:
“Last night, you sat 10 meters away from me and Jay Park. For two hours nothing happened, so I thought everything was fine. But you f*cking attacked Jay Park while I went to the bathroom. Jay Park is not a professional fighter but a musician. You slapped a civilian who merely helped translate.
“Even worse, you were sitting there waiting until I would be absent and attacked Jay Park. It was not a fight like real men would do. What you have done is same as a grown up to beat a child. You should have attacked me. If so, I would have not been upset.You are such a coward for slapping a musician not a fighter.
“If you f*cking planned this to fight me and to use my name because people don’t remember your name anymore, then I congratulate you, it worked. I will fight you and I will knock you out and your f*cking face will be bloody. Now, your f*cking face stays in my mind and I will f*ck you up in the cage. I hope you won’t run away from me again.”
One thing is for sure — this fight needs to be made.

‘Korean Zombie’ Chan Sung Jung has opted for eye surgery meaning he will not fight again until at least summer 2020.
The UFC featherweight contender is on the cusp of a title shot but will now have to wait. This is due to experiencing issues with his eyes including double vision. Despite doctors in his homeland have dismissing his concerns, Jung decided to seek a second opinion in America. Speaking about MMA Junkie about his issues and the decision to seek surgery he said.
“Recently,
it has been more important for me to figure out my double vision issue. It took
a long time to get medical exams done and there was a difference with diagnoses
between doctors in Korea and Phoenix.”
“Finally,
I decided to get the surgery done in Phoenix soon,” Jung said. “I am sure I
will be able to get back to the cage around July or August because the surgeon
says it is not a big surgery.”
The 145lb contender will be short of opponents to face on his UFC return. Champion Alexander Volkanovski is likely to rematch former champ Max Holloway in June. Whilst Brian Ortega and Zabit Magomedsharipov are also rumoured to be meeting. Yair Rodriguez now seems to be the most likely to face the ‘Korean Zombie’ next. Although the 32-year-old doesn’t think Rodriguez will be interested in taking the rematch anytime soon.
“Let me make
sure I am OK to fight him again,” Jung said. “The fight was great, and that was
one of the fights I never want to remove in my career. But I don’t think Yair
wants to fight me because he already won the fight against me. I don’t see the
reason I need to fight him, either, at this point in time. I expect I will meet
him again in the future, and I promise it will be a great fight again.”.
“Right now, my focus goes on Volkanovski,” Jung said. “If it would not work for me to fight the champion, I would be interested in fighting Ortega – but I want to make sure. At this moment, I want to fight Volkanovski.”

Brian Ortega was not pleased with recent comments from the Korean Zombie.
Zombie and Ortega were initially scheduled to fight each other at UFC Busan back in December. However, the latter had to pull out due to a partial ACL tear.
Frankie Edgar stepped up but was easily dealt with by Zombie who knocked him out in the first round. The South Korean has since been campaigning for a title shot.
In a recent appearance on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show, Zombie also showed little interest in running things back with Ortega. He, instead, believes Ortega was ducking him despite “T-City” being injured.
That didn’t go down well with Ortega who also had some words for rapper Jay Park who was translating for Zombie:
“When I saw him in Korea he apologized and said sorry for the trash talk and I said all good because at least you came at me like a man,” Ortega wrote in an Instagram comment. “Now you just a b*tch dawg. Jay Park welcome to the fight game don’t be surprised if I slap the sh*t out of you when I see you. Having an injury and ducking are 2 different things.”
It will be interesting to see how Zombie responds to Ortega.
What do you think of the beef?
