KZ never mentioned it the whole time, but it seems that he had a nagging knee injury coming in to his last fight.
Since returning home to South Korea, Jung has focused on recovering from a collateral ligament tear that occurred during preparation for the Ortega fight. He had a procedure done, in which pins from an old ACL surgery were removed. It may sound gruesome to some, but Jung stated it is not a major injury and he aims for a March or April return.
“Training for my last fight in Korea was interesting, it was very comfortable to be at home, but it also takes a lot of resources to bring my Fight Ready family around the world to me. Once I get my next opponent, I’ll likely travel and come join the squad in Arizona.”
