Fedor Emelianenko Spars With Korean Zombie Chan Sung Jung



UFC featherweight Chan Sung Jung, aka "The Korean Zombie" spars with former Pride heavyweight champ Fedor Emelianenko on "Star King" a South Korean TV show. Jung wasn't alone, the Russian Sambo fighter also did demonstrations of his technique with Korean entertainer Boom and Actor Kim Bosung.

Here are a couple of screen grabs from the show:

No word on Fedor's next MMA opponent. He beat Japanese Judoka Satoshi Ishii by first round TKO at the Dream New Year's Eve special.

"There are currently no concrete conversations about Bobby being the next opponent for Fedor," according to Fedor's management team at M-1 Global. Possible locations for the summer fight include Monaco and Russia.

Jung KO'd Mark Hominick in the first round of their bout at UFC 140 and is high on the list of possible title challengers for UFC featherweight champ Jose Aldo. I'd expect Jung to have to win one more fight before getting his shot at Aldo.

I always get a kick out of Fedor’s childish grin in his sparring matches

He doesn't overdo it.

Exhibit B:

That’s just Fedor being Fedor. That’s weird enough.

Yeah, I get what you mean now.

He really hams it up, doesn’t he? But that’s okay, silly as it may be.

He's flashy with the high elevation judo throws, but I don't think he's slamming KZ or Aoki very hard.

No, don’t worry. I’m just going to slam you on your side a couple times then break your arm.

The way Jung posted his arm during that throw reminded me of

Could you imagine Fedor breaking someone accidentally on one of these silly shows?

Was anyone else secretly hoping for the schadenfreude of Zombie sleeping Fedor?

I'm always hoping one of these shows would break out into a heated brawl,

maybe they should invite the Diaz bros.

But people still give a shit about Fedor

If James Toney could be let in the Octagon, anything is possible.
