In a performance that was as close to victory as one would be without actually winning, Jung had an all-out war against Yair Rodriguez to headline UFC Fight Night 139. Despite the loss on the record, this was a fight that had Jung up on the scorecards, and had the fight gone on just one more second, the judges would've been the ones to determine the victor.

Regardless, this is one of 'The Korean Zombie's best performances. His striking was crisp, his defense held up for the most part, and he was seen to be more unpredictable than ever before.

This loss must've been an especially hard pill to swallow as he was just one second away from victory, and he willingly put himself in danger as opposed to playing it safe. While this isn't great on the record, it shows the grit and willingness to exchange that 'The Korean Zombie' possesses, which are huge variables that may help him win the featherweight title come April 9th.


#3. Korean Zombie vs. Renato Carneiro

Although the fighter from South Korea had a lot of success in his fight against Yair Rodriguez, the painful loss proved to be a great learning experience for him. Jung got caught with his head on the centerline, resulting in the last second knockout loss. When he returned to take on Renato Carneiro, he wanted to make a point that he was not a stationary target.

Headlining UFC Fight Night 154, the Korean Zombie stood out from the rest on a spectacular card with one of his best performances. Not even a minute went by and 'The Korean Zombie' dropped his opponent by slipping a jab whilst countering with a powerful right hand.

Subsequent ground and pound prompted the referee to intervene just 58-seconds into this main event. Jung came in as an underdog after the aforementioned loss to 'El Pantera', but he proved to anyone doubting him that he deserves his spot at the top of the division.
