UFC full fight: ‘Korean Zombie’ sleeps Dustin Poirier with nasty D’Arce choke in big upset win

Chan Sung Jung, or better known as “Korean Zombie,” is considered by many as an MMA legend due to his insane fighting style. But although he had a reputation as a wild brawler, he was also a technical fighter.

In May 2012, Jung picked up arguably the biggest win of his career, which served as a title eliminator at featherweight. In the main event of FC on FUEL TV 3, Jung went toe-to-toe with Dustin Poirier. It was a wild fight with an unexpected outcome when Jung put Poirier to sleep with a D’Arce choke.

The victory got Jung a title shot against then-champion Jose Aldo, who beat him by fourth-round TKO the following year.
