Chan Sung Jung Says UFC Told Him He Gets A Title Shot If He Wins Frankie Edgar

Chan Sung Jung: “I Was Told That If I Win Frankie Edgar At UFC Fight Night 139, I Will Get A Title Shot”

Frankie Edgar and Chan Sung Jung will cross their gloves at the main event of UFC Fight Night 139. It will be held at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado, on November 10th.

But Chan Sung Jung might get or lose everything in the match versus “The Answer”. If Korean Zombie wins, he was promised to face the winner of Brian Ortega Vs Max Holloway for the UFC Featherweight title! (via MMAMania.com)

“I was told that if I win this fight, I will get a title shot,” Jung told Rank5 (via BJPenn.com). “I was fighting for myself in my twenties, but now I’m fighting for my family. Even though I do not have the same physical strength, I have amassed much more experience and know-how.”

Chan Sung Jung had a good score in the last three fights. He defeated Dustin Poirier via D’Arce choke at UFC On Fuel TV 3 on May 15, 2012. Then he was defeated in the UFC Featherweight title fight to Jose Aldo via punches at UFC 163 on August 3, 2013. Korean Zombie was absent for four years due to military obligations. Yet, this didn’t affect his performances at all! On February 4, 2017, at UFC Fight Night 104, he knocked Dennis Bermudez out via world-class punch in the first round.

Frankie Edgar also has the score of 2-1 in the last three fights. The Answer defeated Yair Rodriguez at UFC 211 via doctor stoppage on May 13, 2017. Then Brian Ortega knocked him out at UFC 222 on March 3, 2018. In his last fight, Edgar rebounded back with a unanimous decision victory over Cub Swanson. They fought at UFC Fight Night 128 on April 21, 2018.

What are your thoughts on this showdown? Do you believe Chan Sung Jung can defeat Frankie Edgar? After all, it is a collision of two pretty much different fighting styles!
