Alexander Volkanovski recently offered fans some insight into what he believes sets Chan Sung Jung apart from the rest of his featherweight contemporaries.

While in conversation with Megan Olivi, 'The Great' assured fans that the fight is going to be an all-out war and an absolute barnburner, one that the fans would hate to miss.

Per Volkanovski, Jung exhibits a dangerous combination of a willingness to get hit to land a shot of his own and power-packed punches. He further vowed to make 'The Korean Zombie' pay dearly for his aggressive approach inside the octagon.

"He's got that, obviously that knockout power. [Inaudible] He's the type of guy, I've said it all week, he'll eat one to give one. You know what I mean? They're dangerous because they're going to try and catch you coming in, you know what I mean? I need to connect on him. And I know that he's going to be willing to take it to put one on me. But I mean that's going to leave a lot of openings and that's why this fight's giong to be a war. And I think I'm going to capitalize on him opening up like that. Again, you want to try put one on my chin and you're going to be aggressive like that, I'm gonna make you pay."
