Although Chan Sung
Jung took a horrific beating in a fourth-round technical
knockout loss to Alexander
Volkanovski at
UFC 273, “The Korean Zombie” will only be sidelined for a
minimal period of time.

Jung received a 14-day medical suspension – as did Volkanovski –
for their featherweight championship headliner, which took place at
Vystar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla., this past
Saturday. Fighters who suffer a KO/TKO defeat or take part in a
difficult fight typically receive at least a 30- or 60-day term
from other athletic commissions.
The Florida State Boxing Commission released a full list of medical
suspensions from the event on Tuesday. The nature of each
suspension was not disclosed.
No fighter on the UFC 273 bill received longer than a 45-day
suspension with the exception of Tecia
Torres, who received an indefinite layoff from the FSBC. Torres
lost a closely-contested split decision to Mackenzie
Dern in a strawweight bout where she had to escape a few
submissions, include a tight kimura.
