Report: 'Korean Zombie' vs. Ortega headlines UFC card on Oct. 17

A pivotal featherweight bout between Chan Sung Jung - better known as "The Korean Zombie" - and Brian Ortega will headline the UFC Fight Night card on Oct. 17, sources told ESPN's Brett Okamoto.

A location for the event has reportedly not yet been determined.

Jung and Ortega were originally scheduled to fight at UFC Busan last December, but the latter fell out of the contest due to a knee injury.

Jung ended up fighting Frankie Edgar on that card, finishing the former lightweight champion via first-round TKO. The 33-year-old has won two straight fights, which also includes a first-round finish of Renato Moicano.

Ortega hasn't stepped into the Octagon since facing Max Holloway for the featherweight title in the UFC 231 main event in December 2018. "T-City" lost that bout via TKO at the end of the fourth round, ending his seven-fight unbeaten streak in the UFC. Ortega holds notable wins over Edgar, Cub Swanson, and Moicano.

The Oct. 17 event will also reportedly feature a women's flyweight bout between former strawweight champion Jessica Andrade and ex-title challenger Jessica Eye.
