Junior Albini takes lessons from Brendan Loughnane and ‘The Korean Zombie’ to UFC Minneapolis

Junior Albini believes he has learned some valuable lessons watching other athletes compete inside the Octagon.

Brendan Loughnane is one of the best prospects to come out of the European circuit in recent times, but UFC president Dana White chose not to sign him after he decided to go for a takedown with ten seconds left in his exciting Contender Series win earlier this month in Las Vegas.

“The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung, a top-ranked featherweight in the UFC, suffered a brutal knockout when he was a second away from defeating Yair Rodriguez in 2018, opting to charge forward instead of just waiting for the clock to expire.
