5 Most exciting UFC fighters to watch in the past decade (2010-2019)

#3 Chan Sung Jung

'The Korean Zombie' has become a cult favourite thanks to his exciting fighting style

Despite a pair of lengthy absences – one due to his mandatory service in the Korean military and one due to a severe knee injury – ‘The Korean Zombie’ Chan Sung Jung has remained a cult favourite with UFC fans throughout the decade, and that’s largely due to his all-action style inside the Octagon.

Jung burst into the conscience of the MMA fanbase back in 2010 with his insane fight against Leonard Garcia at WEC 48, and when he joined the UFC in 2011 it was clear that we were in for some jaw-dropping things. And the Zombie hasn’t disappointed, putting on classics against the likes of Dustin Poirier and Yair Rodriguez and also boasting some of the best finishes in promotional history too, with his twister submission of Garcia in their rematch and his 7-second knockout of Mark Hominick.

Still a highly relevant title contender at 145lbs, Jung has the chance to close out the decade in style when he faces Frankie Edgar in the main event of UFC Fight Night 165 – the final UFC show of 2019. With the insane history of ‘The Korean Zombie’, you’d be a fool to bet against it being an amazing fight.
