Chan-Sung Jeong rewrote domestic sports history with UFC featherweight title matches in 2013 and 2022. 10 consecutive UFC main events since 2012 is also a difficult feat for a Korean mixed martial arts fighter to achieve again.
Cortes said, “Every time I entered the Octagon (UFC Stadium), everyone witnessed me bravely putting everything on fire and inspiring the audience and viewers. He summarized Chan-Sung Jeong’s performance on the American stage, saying, “He showed mixed martial arts players that ‘you must aspire to fight and never back down.’
Chan-Sung Jeong’s official UFC ranking is 3rd in 2013, which is a career high. This means that, including the champion, he was fourth in line.
