It wasn’t long ago when fans solely restricted to a North American MMA diet, finally caught wise to the fact that Chan Sung Jung (or better known as “The Korean Zombie”), was the kind of fighter you put your meeting, kids graduation and or wedding on hold to watch fight. If you still haven’t seen his WEC 48 bout with Leonard Garcia last April, drop everything now and immediately seek out footage.
Of course, the fanfare surrounding Jung experienced a little hiccup in September, when George Roop viciously demonstrated with a head kick that the South Korean fighter is in fact, not a zombie, but hell; no one’s going to be changing a nickname that good anytime soon.
So what’s the latest news on the Zombie? Since he was forced to pull out of his January tilt with Rani Yahya in January, the featherweight has apparently been putting some time in with Team Alpha Male. Yup, you could do a lot worse in terms of training partners. For more on that, head to the Garv here.
In addition, it seems that former WEC featherweight champ Urijah Faber has been giving (wink, wink) Jung some English lessons (more winks). In a very entertaining vid released by Faber and his crew, Jung proves to be a brilliant student in picking up the finer points of the English language, most importantly, pick up lines. To check out the vid head here.
Now, if you want to throw a little dough down on Faber’s upcoming bout with Eddie Wineland, which should be pretty sweet, go here.
