Alexander Volkanovski showed he was a level above his opposition once again Saturday, when he defeated “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung.
In the UFC 273 main event, Volkanovski (24-1 MMA, 11-0 UFC) stopped Jung (17-7 MMA, 7-4 UFC) with strikes at 0:45 of Round 4 to retain his featherweight title. The bout took place at Vystar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla.
From beginning to end, Volkanovksi showed why he wears the belt. His leg kicks were strong and continually threw Jung off-balance. His boxing was crisp, and dropped and rocked Jung multiple times in the opening three rounds. The damage piled and piled, until it caught referee Herb Dean’s attention at the end of Round 3.
