Jung Chan-sung, also known as Chan Sung Jung and famously recognized as The Korean Zombie, is a South Korean mixed martial artist who competes in the UFC's Featherweight division. He's been in the professional fighting scene since 2007 and has previously fought in various organizations like WEC, Pancrase, World Victory Road, and DEEP. His nickname, The Korean Zombie, stems from his impressive ability to relentlessly press forward and maintain an aggressive fighting style, even when absorbing significant blows. Currently, he holds the #8 spot in the UFC featherweight rankings.

There, he began training in Kickboxing. Later on, he continued his education at Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology, where he also delved into studying Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
