[autotag]Chan Sung Jung[/autotag] continues to jab at [autotag]Alexander Volkanovski[/autotag], and the UFC featherweight champion has fired back.
Jung, who’s last three wins have come by first-round knockout, has been campaigning for a title shot against Volkanovski by taking numerous digs at him.
“Korean Zombie’s” most recent post criticized Volkanovski’s ability to take people out, but Volkanovski, who only has one career blemish in 2013 by way of TKO, responded by pointing out that he’s never been knocked out cold.

Of course, Volkanovski is referring to Yair Rodriguez’s Hail Mary elbow knockout over Jung in 2018, a fight Jung would’ve won had he not been knocked out with one second remaining.
But the UFC could be heading in a different direction, with a rematch between Volkanovski and Max Holloway being talked about by UFC president Dana White. Volkanovski defeated Holloway via unanimous decision at UFC 245, and although he shut him out for the most part, it was Holloway’s first loss at 145 pounds in over six years.
It appears Jung could have to wait.
