You know you’ve got a catchy nickname when people don’t even bother with the label your parents gave you.
Such is the case with Chan Sung Jung, who the UFC graphics department have long considered be best known simply as “The Korean Zombie.” That decision is on display once again with the official event poster for next month’s UFC on ESPN+ 12 event, where Jung (14-5 MMA, 4-2 UFC) takes on Brazilian featherweight contender Renato Moicano (13-2-1 MMA, 5-2 UFC) in the June 22 headliner at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, S.C.
The night’s full card streams live on ESPN+.
Check out the poster below.
Moicano is currently ranked No. 7 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie MMA featherweight rankings. Jung is currently looking to battle his way back on to the list after a two-year hiatus due to a military commitment in his native South Korea saw him slide, but he’s certainly not one to take part in a boring fight. So give us your early thoughts on the matchup – who wins between these two?
