Korean Zombie set to fight Roop - BJPENN.COM

“The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung and George Roop are set to meet when the WEC holds a September 30th card at the 1st Bank Center in Broomfield, Colorado according to reports.

Both fighters are coming off fight of the night performances against Leonard Garcia in their most recent outings. Jung made a big impact in his American debut, dropping a hotly contested split decision to Garcia in an early frontrunner for fight of the year back in April, while Roop fought his way to a rare draw in an equally engaging contest a month earlier.

Jung is 10-2 having fought the majority of his career in Japan for the Deep and Sengoku promotions. Roop competed in season 8 of “The Ultimate Fighter” as a lightweight but was dropped after going 1-2 in the promotion. He currently stands as 0-1-1 fighting at bantamweight in the WEC.
