UFC representative Dana White declared in an interview with local media the day before that “The winner of the match between Jeong Chan-sung and Ortega will take the title challenge.”
Jeong Chan-sung, who stood in front of the final gateway to the championship belt, burned his conscience, saying, “We are more desperate to win than anyone else” ahead of the decisive battle with Ortegawa.
Chansung Jung and Ortega’s confrontation is evaluated as a confrontation between’hit’ and’jiu-jitsu’.
Overseas martial arts experts evaluate Chan-sung Chung as one of the best in hitting than Ortega. Regarding this, Chansung Jung said, “This game is a stage that uses techniques such as Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling, not just striking,” and “I want to win like an MMA game.”
In addition, he praised his opponent, Ortega, as “strong ability and submission skills are great.” Jeong Chan-seong said, “Ortega has never been knocked out at all,” and “I think it will be a game that goes to the judgment.”
Interest is focused on whether Jeong Chan-sung will be able to defeat Ortega and get a chance for a title match with Volkanovsky.
Initially, the two players were scheduled to clash at the UFC Busan in December last year, but the confrontation was broken due to Ortega’s knee injury. At the UFC tournament in Las Vegas, USA in March, Park Jae-beom, who was with Jung Chan-sung, was assaulted by Ortega, and there was a nervous war between the two.
‘UFC Fight Night 180’, which includes Jung Chan-sung and Ortega’s confrontation, will be broadcast live on SPOTV NOW from 5 am on the 18th.
