Things are really beginning to heat up between former UFC featherweight title challengers “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung and Brian Ortega.

Recently, Ortega took part in an interview in which he claimed that a fight between himself and Jung fell through. “T-City” said things were so close that he even had his team begin to set up training camps in Mexico. However, Ortega said he’s still interested in fighting Jung, who he claimed was “talking sh*t.”

Now, Jung has offered a response of his own on his Instagram, posting quotes from Ortega’s interview, replying with the caption, “You never tried to fight in Mexico City. You lie too much.”

A fight between the pair would certainly make sense for both fighters. Ortega comes off the first loss of his professional mixed martial arts (MMA) career. He was outclassed by Max Holloway before a doctor stoppage after the fourth round in their featherweight title bout at UFC 231 in December. Now, after several months of recovery, Ortega is ready to get back to action.

Jung has won two of his last three contests. In his previous outing, he made quick work of Renato Moicano, knocking the Brazilian out in under a minute from South Carolina in June.

What do you think about the back-and-forth between Jung and Ortega?

Chan Sung Jung wants to fight in his native South Korea next and revealed UFC president Dana White has promised to bring a show over there soon.

“The Korean Zombie” erased the heartache of his devastating knockout defeat to Yair Rodriguez with a quick TKO win over Renato Moicano in the main event of UFC Greenville last night. With Moicano ranked No. 5 leading up to the event, Jung could potentially climb up the featherweight rankings and enter the title mix.

However, speaking on the UFC Greenville ESPN post-fight show, Jung revealed he “doesn’t care” who his next opponent is. His priority, instead, seems to be fighting in South Korea. In an Instagram post later on, Jung posted a screenshot of himself and White facetiming each other, and was given good news on that front:

“HE HAS PROMISED 100% TO BRING UFC TO KOREA! #UFCKorea2019 #DanaWhite@danawhite,” Jung wrote on Instagram.

The UFC has only had one show in South Korea, and that was back in November 2015 in a Seoul event headlined by Benson Henderson vs. Jorge Masvidal. Jung, at the time, could not take part as he was doing mandatory military service.

However, with Jung now available and raring to go, a future event looks likely and will ideally be headlined by the biggest star the nation has produced in combat sports in him.
