"Korean Zombie" Chan Sung Jung has called out Michihiro Omigawa on his blog, accusing the Yoshida Dojo fighter of being a "coward" after Omigawa's recent comments about why he lost his featherweight debut to Jung in 2008. "He's such a coward for not coming to the WEC, where there are (the) best athletes," Jung writes. "Hope he comes to WEC and fight me. Next time, if a bout between me and him happens, I'll make sure that he won't be able to make any kind of excuses." Read the translated blog post at Got MMA? (scroll down for English).
