Chan Sung Jung has claimed the blood didn't bother him much during his main event showdown against Dan Ige. 'The Korean Zombie' fought Ige to a dominant decision win in the main event of UFC Vegas 29 and got back to the win column after his loss to Brian Ortega.
In his post-fight press conference, Chan Sung Jung revealed that he was told the blood was caused due to a potential headbutt and not by a punch. 'The Korean Zombie' added that he also wasn't informed about how many stitches he got after the fight.
"Yeah, it didn't bother too much. I mean, he knew it was there, and later we were told that it was not from a punch but from a headbutt, potentially. They didn't tell us how many stitches we got." - said Chan Sung Jung, via his translator.

At UFC Vegas 29, Chan Sung Jung secured himself a huge and much-needed victory. On the back of a loss to Brian Ortega in his last fight, 'The Korean Zombie' put away an impressive Ige, who headed into the fight on the back of a 22-second knockout against Gavin Tucker.
That said, with a victory at UFC Vegas 29, Chan Sung Jung will now be hoping for a future title shot against either Alexander Volkanovski or Brian Ortega. However, it remains to be seen if the UFC is willing to give the Korean sensation a title shot ahead of Max Holloway.
