5 potential opponents for 'The Korean Zombie' after his latest setback at UFC 273

#2. Yair Rodgriguez vs. 'The Korean Zombie' rematch

UFC Fight Night The Korean Zombie vs. Rodriguez

When Yair Rodriguez and Jung crossed paths in 2018, this was about as wild a fight that the UFC has ever produced. What makes this rematch so interesting is the way in which the first fight concluded. Granted, the fighters have both evolved since this meeting, but it was a fight that 'The Korean Zombie' was a literal second away from winning.

In the final barrage of the fight, one that was completely unnecessary, Jung was caught with an upward elbow that nobody saw coming. Had he not taken this chance, the scorecard would have been in favor of him winning. While it's an especially bitter pill to swallow, it's the type of fighter that Jung is and the reason that fans support him so much.

Rodriguez is coming off a loss to Max Holloway and Jung is fresh off of his shortcomings against Volkanovski for the title. Both fighters need a rebound, so why not try to bounce back off of one another? The two have proved that their chemistry together makes for a must-see fight.

#1. Giga Chikadze vs. 'The Korean Zombie'

UFC Fight Night: Barboza v Chikadze

With Brian Ortega excluded, a 'Korean Zombie' fight isn't typically preceded by trash talk or animosity. This may not be the case if Giga Chikadze and 'The Korean Zombie' are to be placed opposite each other.

When Chikadze suffered his first UFC defeat against Calvin Kattar, it was obvious that the Georgian was looking beyond his fight and had his mind set on Volkanovski. This came back to bite him as he was handily defeated.

Following the loss, Jung tweeted in disapproval, as he was targeted multiple times in Chikadze's trash talk prior to the loss.

Now that both Jung and Chikadze are coming off of losses and have shown slight disdain for each other, maybe it's time for them to fight and settle their differences.
