UFC: Brian Ortega warns Korean Zombie, Jay Park after trash talk – ‘don’t let me see you’
- ‘T-City’ fires back after Jung Chan-sung claims he ‘ducked’ him at UFC Busan by withdrawing injured
- Korean rapper Park, who translated Jung’s interview, says ‘don’t shoot the messenger’ but Ortega doesn’t back down
Brian Ortega didn’t take kindly to the trash talk thrown at him by “The Korean Zombie” this week.
Jung Chan-sung, who was set to face “T-City” at UFC Busan in December before the American withdrew with a torn ACL, took a potshot at Ortega on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show.
“It doesn’t matter [if it’s] Holloway, Volkanovski, or Ortega ” Jung said. “But Ortega already ducked [me] once. [I] don’t need to fight a fighter that’s already ducked one time.”
The “Zombie” called out featherweight champion Alex Volkanovski after battering late replacement Frankie Edgar in Korea, but the Australian looks set for an immediate rematch with former champ Max Holloway.
Either way, Ortega took offence to Jung’s words, which were being translated by his friend Jay Park, the Korean rapper, whom he leapt from the Octagon to hug in the crowd after beating Edgar.
