Chan Sung Jung wasted no time in turning Mark Hominick's lights out
Better known as the ‘Korean Zombie’, Chan Sung Jung had already made a big splash in the UFC since moving there when the WEC’s roster was folded into the promotion in early 2011. He’d finished Leonard Garcia with the UFC’s first ever twister submission in his debut in March.

For his second fight he was faced with somewhat of a tougher foe. Canadian striker Mark Hominick had fought for the Featherweight title in his previous fight and he’d gone the distance with the feared Jose Aldo, even taking the final round on most scorecards. And he’d never been knocked out via strikes before.

That all changed when he faced the Zombie. Hominick came out firing, throwing a looping left hook, but that played into Jung’s hands. The Korean countered with a straight right that dropped the Canadian, and a rapid-fire combination that followed on the ground turned out the lights.
Not only had Jung beaten the last man to challenge for the UFC title, he’d done it in far easier fashion than the champion had managed. It was a hugely impressive win for the Korean Zombie, and it had taken him just 7 seconds – almost a UFC record.
