The lesson learned with the loss to Yair Rodriguez was shown on full display in Jung's next fight against Moicano. Fans were curious to see how 'The Korean Zombie' would bounce back from this loss.

He wasn't given an easy task to come back against either, as his Brazilian opponent won 2 of his last 3. The bout started and saw a lot of action within the first few minutes of the round. 'The Korean Zombie' was ready to show that his head wasn't as stationary a target that others may have thought it was. A slip and counter floored Moicano, and Jung took the back of his nearly-unconscious opponent.

Great control and patience was shown by Jung as he didn't rush the finish, although the fight ended just shy of a minute in. This performance showed that when the Korean fighter loses, he's coming back with mistakes fixed and with a vengeance.


#3. Dan Ige

Dan Ige is ever the tough opponent, following a loss to two-time title contender Brian Ortega. This was quite the setback, as 'The Korean Zombie' was very close to challenging for the title prior to that loss.

Ige is not the ideal rebound fight -- he's well-rounded and dangerous. He was also riding the confidence of his 22-second knockout victory over Gavin Tucker. Once again, Chan Sung Jung proved that he can bounce back from a loss in emphatic fashion.

'The Korean Zombie' showed great striking ability, but it was his grappling that won him the fight. He scored takedown after takedown throughout the fight and did an impressive job securing dominant positions. As the clock reached the 25-minute mark, it was very clear that Chan Sung Jung had this bout in his pocket.
