Tidigare under månaden meddelades det att Chan Sung ”The Korean Zombie” Jung kommer vara borta från oktagonen i två år, då han måste göra sin militärtjänstgöring. Detta är något som enligt ”The Korean Zombie” kommer förlänga hans karriär, och detta hade Chan att säga via ”MMAFighting”:
It’s not something that was a surprise. Since all able-bodied men are obligated to serve, I knew that it was something that I’d have to do at some point. It’s the law and a duty of all Korean men. Those are the rules, so I have to abide by them.
I’ll be working in my local district office. Because of several surgeries that I had, I was given a government office job. I’m not sure exactly what I’ll be doing there, though. I think this may extend my career, because it gives me some much needed time to heal. I’ll have time to work on my skills without pushing myself to the limit, which is necessary when training for a fight.
Sist vi såg Jung inne i oktagonen slogs han ut av fjäderviktsmästaren Jose Aldo, då de möttes vid UFC 163.
