Chan
Sung Jung will lock horns with Dan Ige in a
featherweight main event at UFC Fight Night on June 19.
ESPN first brought word of the matchup. The event does not yet
have an official location or venue.
“The Korean Zombie” had a two-bout winning streak snapped at UFC
Fight Night 180, when he dropped a five-round verdict to current
No. 1 contender Brian
Ortega this past October. Prior to that, Jung had earned
consecutive first-round TKO wins against Frankie
Edgar and Renato
Carneiro.
Ige, meanwhile, is coming off a 22-second knockout of Gavin
Tucker at UFC Fight Night 187 on March 13. The Xtreme Couture
product has won seven of his last eight Octagon appearances, with a
five-round decision loss to Calvin
Kattar on July 15 as the only setback on his record during that
run.
