LAS VEGAS -- Chan Sung Jung kept his UFC featherweight title hopes alive on Saturday, as he defeated Dan Ige in a highly technical, highly competitive five-round affair.
Jung (17-6) outpointed Ige (15-4) on the official scorecards 49-46, 49-46 and 48-47. The 145-pound contest headlined UFC Fight Night inside the Apex.
The fight was probably closer than the final scores indicated. According to UFC Stats, Jung, also known as "Korean Zombie," and Ige landed almost the exact same amount of strikes, with Jung landing 140 to Ige's 138. Jung scored a knockdown in the second round, but Ige wobbled Jung with a left hand in the fifth.
