There are some terrific nicknames among UFC fighters, but certainly on the short list for one of the best has to be “The Korean Zombie.” That belongs to Chan Sung Jung as he takes on Brian Ortega in a featherweight bout to headline Saturday’s UFC Fight Night Card from the organization’s Fight Island in Abu Dhabi. The main card will begin at 7 p.m. ET and will be available in the United States on ESPN+.

The UFC featherweight champion is Alexander Volkanovski. UFC president Dana White has all but said that Saturday’s winner would get a shot at Volkanovski.

Ortega, a 29-year-old from California, is 14-1 with a no-contest in a professional career that began in 2010 in the Gladiator Challenge. That lone defeat came in a title bout in December 2018 to former champion Max Holloway by first-round TKO (doctor stoppage). Ortega could be a bit rusty with that long layoff. He was supposed to fight Jung last December but pulled out with a knee injury. “T-City” has won seven of his bouts by submission, four by decision and three by KO/TKO. He is a +150 underdog for Saturday.
