Alex Volkanovski puts his UFC featherweight title on the line when he meets the always entertaining Jung “Korean Zombie” Chan-sung at UFC 273 this weekend.
Volkanovski comes into the contest with an impressive 20-fight win streak with wins over Chad Mendes, Jose Aldo, and Max Holloway twice, putting his name well and truly in the talk as one of the greatest featherweights ever.
A third victory over Holloway would have silenced the critics who thought Holloway did enough to earn the victory in their last outing but with the Hawaiian pulling out of a potential third fight, up stepped the dangerous “Korean Zombie”.
Jung has won three out of his last four, with the loss coming to Brian Ortega – an opponent Volkanovski defeated in his last outing. The 35-year-old South Korean brings a 17-6 record and will challenge for the featherweight title for a second time after losing to Jose Aldo back in 2013.
A bantamweight title rematch between Petr Yan and Aljamain Sterling features as the co-main event. The two met 12-months ago when Yan, who was the champion at the time, was dominating the contest before an illegal knee from Yan in the fourth round ended the contest and Sterling controversially walked away with the title.
