However, the stacked 145 lb division has many top talents waiting for a crack at the new champion.
The Korean Zombie spoke to MMAJunkie and revealed that he’s heard of some exciting plans that are being discussed for him by the UFC’s top brass.
The Korean brawler realizes that he is not guaranteed to have a title fight next and has three world-class opponents in mind if the Volkanovski matchup doesn’t come to fruition.
Sung Jung is willing to face either Zabit Magomedsharipov, Brian Ortega and Max Holloway.
Zombie, who failed to capture the featherweight title from Jose Aldo in 2013, is confident that he will become the first Korean UFC Champion if he gets another opportunity.
He believes that another win against a top-ranked fighter from the division should be enough to get him the fight he wants. The Korean fan-favourite wants to show the world that Asian men as just as strong as other fighters and he feels that becoming a World Champion would prove his point.
