Jung put up an impressive performance and is now undefeated in his last 15 fights. He has got 11 of his 15 wins via a way of T/KO. This win is surely going to get him some traction. Jung is a prospect to look out for in 2022. If he keeps up his impressive run, he’ll soon fight bigger names in the division.

In the post-fight interview with Michael Bisping, he said, “We both recognized we are both slow starters, but I felt his footwork was a little bit slower than mine. So what I wanted to do, I wanted to tax his guard in the beginning, make him get his hands up and then start landing the elbows and the counter hook and it worked out.”
