Top 5 Korean Zombie Main Events

#2. Korean Zombie vs. Frankie Edgar

UFC Fight Night: Bermudez vs Chan Sung Jung

Who better to headline a UFC event taking place in South Korea? It was a no-brainer to put 'The Korean Zombie' at the top of the bill to close out the show for this event. The real question was against who?

Enter Frankie Edgar. A very game fighter, fan-favorite and former champion who was coming off of a title fight defeat to Max Holloway, 'The Answer' isn't one to decline a dangerous fight, not even in someone else's backyard. Jung wanted to use Edgar to catapult himself into title contention, and Edgar wanted to rebound and possibly right the wrong that was his previous performance.

Edgar entered this fight having only been finished once before. His durability may have held up for most of his career, but the Korean wouldn't be denied in front of his hamoetown fans. Big shots and top control dominated the first few minutes of this fight in the favor of Jung. 'The Answer' was unable to recover and after returning to his feet, he was sat back down with a series of punches. Another main event, another first-round finish for 'The Korean Zombie'.

#1. Korean Zombie vs. Dustin Poirier

UFC 269: Oliveira v Poirier

When granted his first headlining position at UFC on Fuel TV 3, Chan Sung Jung was slated against fellow contender, Dustin Poirier. 'The Diamond' was 4-0 in the organization thus far, most recently dominating Max Holloway in his debut for the company.

Jung had an impressive streak of his own going into this one in the form of 2 spectacular finishes over Leonard Garcia and Mark Hominick. This main event was set up to determine who would challenge the then-champion, Jose Aldo, in hopes of becoming the UFC's second-ever featherweight champion. These heavy implications brought out the best of both fighters.

In a bout that still holds up to this day as one of the best fights in the division. Jung really put it all out there in this performance. Flying knees, great takedown defense and great success with his bodylock takedowns -- Jung was the first in the UFC to show 'The Diamond' significant threats. Exclusive to main events and title fights are the fourth and fifth rounds. Although a fourth round was necessary, it was just needed for just over a minute. Jung locked up a brado choke and put Poirier to sleep, perhaps rendering his first main event performance as his best.
