Chan
Sung Jung needs doctor clearance to return to action after his
left shoulder popped in and out during a victory over Dan Ige in the
UFC on ESPN 25 headliner this past Saturday.
“The Korean Zombie” must have a left shoulder MRI and, if positive,
doctor clearance or he will be sidelined until Dec. 17. At a
minimum, Jung is suspended until July 20 with no contact until July
11 due to a left eyebrow laceration.
The Nevada Athletic Commission released a full list of medical
suspensions from the event to
mixedmartialarts.com. UFC on ESPN 25 took place at the UFC Apex

main event. Ige is suspended until July 20 with no contact until
July 11 due to a lip laceration.
