‘The Korean Zombie’ puts personal feelings aside for Brian Ortega fight: ‘It’s complete business’

Featherweights “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung and Brian Ortega exchanged a lot of bad words as they waited for a chance to fight each other.

Bad blood eventually boiled over to involve Jung’s friend, hip-hop artist Jay Park, who was slapped by Ortega at a UFC event back in March. Apologies were eventually issued and accepted, but that didn’t dissipate the long-simmering feud.

Just days away from finally settling his beef in the octagon, “The Korean Zombie” said he’s won’t allow himself to be consumed with ill feelings toward Ortega. That will serve no purpose in the fight.
