Ortega (14-1, 1 NC MMA) last fought in the main event of UFC 231, where Max Holloway outboxed him in a title bout. The doctor stopped the match at the end of the fourth round. Before fighting “Blessed”, Brian turned the lights out on Frankie Edgar at UFC 222 via punch.
Chan Sung Jung (15-5 MMA) had ups and downs, 2 wins and 2 losses. He lost featherweight title bout against Jose Aldo, then destroyed Dennis Bermudez after a long layoff. Yair Rodriguez knocked him out via spectacular reverse upward elbow, but Korean Zombie bounced back with a lightning-fast victory over Renato Moicano in the first minute of the first round.
What do you think, who will replace Brian Ortega in the main event of UFC Busan?
