The latest UFC rankings update is in, and “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung is not happy with his progress.

Jung, who comes off a big first-round TKO win over Frankie Edgar in the UFC Busan main event, took to social media to voice his displeasure. In the new update, Jung moved up two spots to take the No. 4-ranked position in the 145-pound weight class. He sits only behind Zabit Magomedsharipov, Brian Ortega, and Max Holloway.

Here’s what Jung had to say on the matter.

“One gained victory over an 11th ranker, and another hadn’t fought in 13 months. This ain’t a voting system for popularity I’m number 2.”

The UFC’s ranking system has long been criticized for who and how the voting is done. Originally, Jung was to face Ortega in the UFC Busan main event before Ortega was forced to pull from the card with an injury. It’s hard to think that Jung wouldn’t have been ranked even higher had he gotten a win over Ortega, who is currently the No. 2-ranked featherweight in the world as of this writing.

What do you think about Jung’s displeasure with his new spot in the UFC featherweight rankings? Do you agree with his concerns?

Aleksandar Rakic felt he did enough to get the win over Volkan Oezdemir.

The two hard-hitting light heavyweights met in the UFC Busan co-headliner this past Saturday. After a back-and-forth bout that lasted the entire 15 minutes, it was Oezdemir who was awarded the split decision victory.

It wasn’t a robbery by any means as it was a very close fight. However, Rakic — who suffered his first UFC loss in the process — still felt he was the “real winner” on the night.

Here is what he had to say in an Instagram post where he uploaded pictures from the fight, including one with him raising his hands before the contest:

“That is the feeling what i have right NOW!! He won on the papers but we all know who the REAL winner is. No Excuses i will work my ass off to show my fans what I am capable of. ???

The Austrian is 4-1 in the UFC now, but given that he’s still only 27, the future remains bright for Rakic as he will be looking to bounce back.

What did you think of the split decision verdict? Did you have Oezdemir winning? Or did you agree with Rakic that he won?
