The UFC will return to Fuel TV once more for its third event. The event takes place on May 15 at the Patriot Center in Fairfax, Virginia. Headlining the main event is an exciting Featherweight matchup between Chan Sun Jung and Dustin Poirier.
In the blue corner you have Poirier, who is currently on a five-fight winning streak and has only one loss in his career. Poirier has been on a tear since coming over to the UFC from the WEC,and has recently racked up two submission wins in his last two fights. While he has found success on the ground, Jung may be the man to match him.
In the red corner stands “The Korean Zombie.” Coming off of two incredible finishes, Jung is on a hot streak that seems to be leading him straight into a title shot. While he only is on a two-fight win streak, his twister submission win and seven-second knockout speak for themselves. Known for constantly coming forward and his willingness to exchange, he has created a persona for himself that is very well known and liked. With most of his victories coming by submission, Jung poses a unique threat to Poirier on the ground.
It is worthy to note that neither man has ever been submitted, and only Jung has suffered a KO loss.
This fight is important due to not only the style matchup, but also the title implications. The winner of this fight is likely the next in line for the winner of Jose Aldo vs. Erik Koch.
Both men have proven themselves on the ground, but the stand-up may be where this fight is decided. Jung has good hands, but the advantage would have to edge toward Poirier, who will likely want to keep it standing. It’s not that he couldn’t submit the Zombie, but his hands are much more proven than Jung’s.
Jung may have gotten the quick knockout of Mark Hominick, but his fights with Leonard Garcia show a much less technical fighter. Regardless, fans can expect a great fight standing or on the ground.
Prediction: Dustin Poirier wins via TKO late in Round 1 or early in Round 2.
Featherweight Dustin Poirier goes from next-big-thing to main event May 15 in Fairfax – hear what he expects from his “crazy fight” with the Korean Zombie.
