Fans have been asking for weeks what the main event of UFC Fight Night 154 would be, and for the longest period, no one knew. The event takes place June 22 in Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina, and with neighborhood boy Stephen»Wonderboy» Thompson unavailable to fight soon after the beating he took against Anthony Pettis in March, it was difficult to predict who would headline the card.
We know.
The UFC announced this week that the main event of UFC Fight Night 154 will be an exciting five-round featherweight fight between»The Korean Zombie» Chan Sung Jung and Renato Moicano. These are a couple of the best featherweights in the world, which fight should be a lot of fun. It May not be a title battle, but you would be hard-pressed to see any fans complain about this fight Jung (14-5) is coming from a last-second KO loss to Yair Rodriguez in UFC Fight Night 139 in one of the greatest MMA battles of all time. Jung was well on his way to winning the bout before he got caught with an unorthodox upward elbow by Rodriguez in the 4:59 mark of the fifth round and endured a shocking knockout loss. His overall UFC record dropped to 4-2, but the fact he’s won six bonuses in six UFC battles says everything about Jung. Win or lose, Jung is one of the fighters we’ve ever seen in this sport. It will be tricky to recuperate from such a brutal KO after such a war of a fight, but after shooting over six weeks off to heal up, hopefully he’s 100 percent healthy and good to go for this fight. The loss to Rodriguez knocked him out of this featherweight title picture for the time being, but if he could conquer Moicano, he will jump right back into the mix.
Moicano (13-2-1) is coming from a brutal KO loss, this one to Jose Aldo back in UFC Fight Night 144. Like Jung, Moicano was winning the struggle until Aldo turned the clock back unleashed a violent flurry of strikes that transpired Moicano out. He’s one of the best featherweights in the world and 5-2 at the UFC. Aside from losses to Aldo and Brian Ortega — there’s no shame to losing to either of these guys — Moicano has been among the best featherweights in the UFC otherwise. Like Jung, he needs to rally from his last reduction in order to rejoin the featherweight title combination, but there is no reason to thing he can not do it.
The chances for this battle ought to be interesting if they come outside, but if I had to guess, Moicano will be slightly preferred. Bettors will likely be seeking to fade Jung coming off of that bad loss while Moicano is someone who constantly gets a lot of respect from the betting public. Nonetheless, it’s definitely a close fight that could go either way, and MMA fans in Carolina ought to be excited they landed such an exciting struggle as the main event of UFC Fight Night 154.
