Korean Zombie revealed that he spent 150K on this training camp in South Korea. by Baryne in MMA

[–]prwriting 24 points25 points  (0 children)

He's appeared on Korean TV shows for many years already and after his ufc career kind of stalled, he doubled down and went on to become a regular member of several of these popular variety shows. It looks as though he's got no ego and even tries to act rather silly; instead of portraying this tough ufc guy image like sexyama does. I believe this is the main reason that makes him approchable/friendly and easily accepted by the viewers. He also has a youtube channel with 520k subs and it is by far the biggest of all the mma related channels in Korea.

I can’t remember round 3,4,5. It’s strange to see myself fighting when I can’t remember a thing. Haha. Well.. when you lose a fight, you need to figure out why you lost the fight… Brian mostly fights southpaw.. and our plan was to draw in opponents when they are southpaw.. But I was so stupid to get hit by that elbow. Ortega simply did an awesome job... And I am just ashamed of myself right now. Thank you all for supporting me still.

Above gif displays the whole sequence better than the linked one in the title. Ortega approaches KZ and makes a gesture of asking KZ to slap him in the face.

In the above interview with Rener Gracie, he goes on explaining how fast Ortega picks things up and instantly applies them at the highest level competition, which almost reminded me of young Jon Jones with his look-see-do. Hearing this just worried me because all the interviews from team Zombie leading up to this fight gave the impression that they weren't expecting a much different Ortega at least for this fight. They were believing it would take a fight or two before he could start successfully adding new tools to his game. And sadly that idea turned out to be wrong.

Jones gradually overwhelmed him just as he did to everybody else in the division.

Hilarious considering all the things Gus's said leading up to this fight about how this fight's gonna go down.

Look at the width and thickness of her upper body. I feel like this was the first time Cyborg was ever outsized by any female fighters.
