Featherweight contender Ryan Hall was not impressed with The Korean Zombie’s callout of Zabit Magomedsharipov.

Zombie is coming off a unanimous decision defeat to Brian Ortega in October and is now looking to return to the win column as well as title contention.

With Ortega set to challenge current champion Alexander Volkanovski next, Zombie recently called for a fight with Magomedsharipov.

“I want Zabit (Magomedsharipov),” he said. “That’s the fight that’s going to get me closest to a title shot. More than that, I want to once again try to prove myself against one of the hottest fighters in the division and prove that I’m still capable of competing at the highest level. Of course, I would understand if he doesn’t want to fight me.

“… This is a fight that would bring the fans to their feet. (He) and I are both entertainers and extremely competitive, so I think he’d like to step in the octagon with me. A win for both of us would mean a lot for our careers, and it would be an amazing match. The ball is in Zabit’s court; I want this fight to kick off 2021.”

Of course, Hall had recently called for a fight with Zombie as he struggles to find a ranked opponent to face.

And once he learned of Zombie’s callout, he made sure to fire a shot at the former title challenger on Wednesday.

“Anyone know how to say “you lost your last fight” in Korean? @KoreanZombieMMA”

While Hall is right to be frustrated, the reality is he is ranked No. 13 in the featherweight rankings and it makes little sense for Zombie — ranked no. 5 — to face him next.

Hopefully, Hall is able to land a ranked opponent sooner rather than later. The American last competed in July 2019 when he outpointed Darren Elkins.

What do you make of Hall’s response to Zombie?

Ryan Hall Frustrated At Being ‘Constantly Avoided’, Targeting Korean Zombie Next

UFC featherweight Ryan Hall is fed up of not being able to land a ranked opponent. Hall has become notorious for being one of the most avoided fighters on the roster.

UFC featherweight Ryan Hall is fed up of not being able to land a ranked opponent.

Hall has become notorious for being one of the most avoided fighters on the roster. The jiu-jitsu black belt last competed in July last year when he comfortably outpointed Darren Elkins.

He was most recently set to compete against former title challenger Ricardo Lamas in May until the event was called off due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was rescheduled for August only for Hall to pull out due to injury with Lamas retiring after defeating short-notice opponent Bill Algeo.

And since then, the list of fighters turning him down has only increased.

“We came here to fight the best and have been consistently avoided,” Hall told MMA Fighting. “I am unbeaten [in the UFC] and have won each of my fights in one-sided fashion. The narrative that I have or ever would pull out of a fight is false. I signed and trained to fight two times this year, and both fell out at great expense to myself.

“I am not some kind of trained monkey or gimmick who is waiting around to do one-offs against whatever grappling-based fighter people happen to be excited about at a given time. I want the best. Period. I believe that my results justify nothing less.”

Hall had previously called out a number of featherweight contenders who had either turned him down or were unavailable at the time.

That was back in February and the story remains the same for the No. 12-ranked Hall.

“These ‘ranked fighters’ are making Sean Shelby’s job impossible,” Hall said. “It’s at a point where the UFC either needs to force the fighters ahead of me to accept or pay me to retire and leave them in peace. Maybe they can take up a collection.”

Hall’s next target is seemingly The Korean Zombie who is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Brian Ortega last month.

The Korean Zombie is yet to answer the call as of now. But no matter what eventually happens, Hall’s goal is to be active in 2021.

“Ryan is coming after the rankings,” Hall’s manager Nima Safapour said. “Someone either steps up finally or they get called out for running. Their choice but he needs a fight and his goal is to fight three times in 2021. He is focused on getting the title.”

What do you think of Hall’s situation?

‘The Korean Zombie’ Issues A Statement After Losing To Brian Ortega

Top featherweight contender Chan Sung Jung AKA ‘The Korean Zombie’ has addressed his loss to Brian Ortega in the UFC Fight Island 6 main event for the first time. ‘The Korean Zombie’ was a considerable favourite heading into his fight against ‘T-City’ who had taken almost two years off since suffering a brutal beating at […]

Top featherweight contender Chan Sung Jung AKA ‘The Korean Zombie’ has addressed his loss to Brian Ortega in the UFC Fight Island 6 main event for the first time.

‘The Korean Zombie’ was a considerable favourite heading into his fight against ‘T-City’ who had taken almost two years off since suffering a brutal beating at the hands of former featherweight champion Max Holloway.

On the night things were much different than anticipated. Ortega looked vastly improved from the last time we saw him in action. He was patient with his striking offence and well versed in the art of defence. Ortega mixed in his boxing with a wrestling threat to keep ‘TKZ’ guessing in each of the five rounds.

Ortega scored two knockdowns and enjoyed several highlight moments in the fight. He was unable to find the finish, but it was clear he had won even before the judges rendered their unanimous decision.

‘The Korean Zombie’ looked a far cry from what MMA fans have come to expect. He was somewhat shot shy. Often in range but unable to pull the trigger and when he did unable to find the target a lot of the time.

After the fight Jung took to social media to express his thoughts about the fight, he wrote.

“I don’t remember round 3,4,5 I don’t remember, but it’s so amazing to see you fighting.. haha.. I have to find out why I lost when I lose the game.. the opponent was too high, south I was supposed to attract my opponent when I was in the middle of the day.. but I’m just a fool who hit such a elbow. Ortega did so well.. and it’s just that I’m so ashamed of myself right now. Thank you for your support though. Sorry.” (Translated from Korean)
