Chan Sung Jung has a great opportunity to pull off an upset when he challenges UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski. The featherweight champion was originally scheduled to defend the title against Max Holloway in a trilogy bout. But, Holloway was forced to withdraw from the event due to an injury.

"The Korean Zombie" stepped in following Holloway’s injury. Saturday's main event will be Jung's second title shot. His last title shot came in 2013 when he fought then champion Jose Aldo. He was unsuccessful that night as Aldo retained the title after finishing Jung with strikes in the fourth round.

"The Korean Zombie" has made changes this time around, training with former two-division champion Henry Cejudo. Perhaps Jung saw a weakness from Volkanovski's last bout that he could exploit. Training with "Triple C" could help "The Korean Zombie" improve his wrestling and make it more difficult to take him down.
