Korean Zombie's latest: "I want to fight Frankie Edgar next."

[Gio]

***Rough translation/excerpts***

"There is no more waiting. I aim for the very top. To do that, you have to pick the strongest fighter and beat him for the title shot." Jung mentions he believes Frankie Edgar is the second best opponent in the ranking.

"I want to fight Frankie Edgar next." said Jung, "Because Edgar is the top-ranked fighter except for the current champions (Jose Aldo and Max Halloway) He said.



***Some excerpts in the interview***

- It's already been 20+ days since you returned. How did you spend your time coming back from America?

"I have traveled to the US with my mother-in-law and my family during my trip to the United States, and I have not seen anyone in the meantime ... (Laughter) So far I have only seen the kids.

- There were many people who would like to thank you.

"I was writing down a list of people to visit and say thank you."

- You have recently appeared on JTBC 'As You Say'. How was the new experience?

"I realized again that the power of editing was great, I really pissed off, I thought I could do it, and I did not feel like broadcasting."

- Was the return of the three-year and six-month return so significant?

"It's been a long time since I've been in Octagon and has been a long time since I've been in the ranks and whether or not I qualify as a top level fighter."

- UFC Fight Night Singapore will be held on June 17th. What are the possibilities for a fight in the event?

"I do not know, but the plan I made after the layoff was to rehabilitate my knee and shoulder reinforcement until May, so I need to reduce my rehab period to fight in Singapore. But it is possible for me to have a fights sooner than planned. "

- Miesha Tate said, "I want to see Korean Zombie fight in Singapore. Your thoughts?

"It was six or seven years ago when I went to train in Sacramento, USA, when I first met Tate, and Tate was not very famous either back then, I was a KO by George Loop. She made a zombie t-shirt cake on my birthday, so I remember Tate as a very good person and fighter. "

Your thoughts on the potential KZ vs Edgar match up?

 

[Chomsky Honk]

that sounds like a very exciting matchup

 

[mooner100]

no. Frankie wrestles him.

The Zombie's weakness is striking defense...not grappling.

 

[Kneepocalypse]

What kind of wildman calls out Frankie Edgar, jeez

 

[goOb]

This would be a good matchup. Frankie has good boxing and great wrestling. I say let them bang bro.

 

[BoobsAndBeer]

Hoping for a KZ submission from his back if this happens.

 

[BertStayre]

That would be awesome. Two guys that don't go down or have fear of the punch swinging say each other. Fuck yeah.

 

[Mondo Freaks]

huge call out for KZ. Its a good fight for both these guys

 

[Rdude92]

Oooohhhhhhhh!
If this fight gets fixed, I'm soo gonna be looking forward toward it!
It's gonna be an explosion in the octagon!

 

[Literally Bricked]

Tate wants to move up to a better fighter than Caraway.

 

[CRobby22]

 

[Le Fisticuffs]

Oooohhhhhhhh!
If this fight gets fixed, I'm soo gonna be looking forward toward it!
It's gonna be an explosion in the octagon!

[Cam Zink]

I want that too.

 

[Shonuffbrad]

Gotta love zombie

 

[NotoriousMillions]

What kind of wildman calls out Frankie Edgar, jeez

The kind that wants a title shot after Holloway/Aldo

 

[Bogeyman]

Shame on zombie for calling out a washed up gatekeeper. He can do better.

 

[NaughtyBoy]

no. Frankie wrestles him.

Korean Zombie's ground game is solid. Frankie could get end up submitted.

 

[Law of One]

Already one of my favorite fighters and now it comes out that Miesha baked this guy a custom cake?

LEGEND

I wonder if he coulda hit that..

 

[Andy Anderson]

Frankie should fight for the BW belt
