Chan Sung Jung
Sung Jung (16-6) returned to the octagon in 2017 after a five-year injury and military hiatus. He’s gone 3-2 since the 2017 return, defeating Dennis Bermudez in the first round in his first fight back.
“The Korean Zombie” returned 21-months later, meeting Yair Rodriguez in a bout that ultimately ended with a backward elbow that crumbled Sung Jung with just one second left.
He fought twice in 2019, earning two knockouts over Renato Moicano and Frankie Edgar.
Sung Jung was no match for Brian Ortega. Ortega dominated Sung Jung with superior striking and boxing skills in 2020. Sung Jung suffered a loss via unanimous decision in his only fight of the year.
Dan Ige
Dan Ige (15-3) comes into this bout off the most exciting win in his fight career after a 22-second KO against Gavin Tucker in March. Ige threw one punch, putting his opponent to sleep.
Prior, Ige suffered a loss to Calvin Kattar, although the quality of fighter he was matched with significantly increased when he stepped inside the ring with Kattar.
