HIGH STAKES LIGHTWEIGHT MATCHUP! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to UFC APEX on Sat., Sept. 23, 2023, with a high stakes 155-pound showdown as No. 6-ranked contender, Rafael Fiziev, takes on No. 7-seeded Mateusz Gamrot. In UFC Vegas 79’s co-main event, No. 12-ranked Featherweight contender, Bryce Mitchell, steps back into the Octagon against No. 13-seeded Dan Ige.
Nzechukwu came out slow and it allowed Jung to start timing power hooks through the defense. After a few minutes of action Jung launched a short elbow inside that caught Nzechukwu on the side of the head. Nzechukwu was hurt and stumbled backwards. Jung pursued him and landed a few more elbows before the referee stepped in for the stoppage.

Jung, 27, is now 4-0-1 inside of the Octagon and looks like a sure bet to hit the top 15 in 2022. He’s got power in his hands and hasn’t lost since 2015 so his stock is surely on the rise.
