After two years, Korean Zombie 'Chan Sung Jung' made a dramatic return to the UFC. Jung was enlisted into the Korean Military Service for three years, which postponed his time in the Octagon. Surprisingly, he was the underdog in comparison to his opponent Dennis Bermudez.

Despite the prediction of Jung losing, he knocked out his opponent in typical style, showing that nothing has changed for the fighter and he was more than ready for his return. Jung finished Bermudez with a right upper-cut after he was struck with a jab that made him buckle earlier on.


In an interview, the featherweight fighter expressed his feelings on the match and his win. "It definitely felt different than sparring," said 'The Korean Zombie' following his return win. "It was completely different doing the real thing in the Octagon". In that same interview, Jung also dedicated his fight to his homeland, saying that he wishes for harmony and peace.

Before his temporary departure Jung was a force to be reckoned with in the MMA world. His record of 14-4 shows his precision and his striking ability. His fight history includes his striking to be at 72 percent in comparison to his 18 percent in submissions and 10 percent in takedowns. His aggressive standup proving to be one of the best, was no match for Bermudez.


His return is sure to spark up more eventual boughts and he will continue to bring in more traction to the UFC/MMA world. The other events on Fight Night 104 included two women's matches. Alexa Grasso and Felice Herrig. Herrig winning the match by decision, called out Paige Vanzant for her next brawl. Fight of the night pinned Jessica Andrade and Angela Hill against one another for a three rounder. Andrade winning by decision.

The other fights on the card included Abell Trujillo versus James Vick; Vic winning by submission. Popular fighter Ovince Saint Preux (OSP) faced off with Volkan Oezdemir and went all three rounds, ending with Oezdemir winner by decision. Anthony Hamilton versus Marcel Fortuna ended in TKO/KO from Fortuna in round one, making the fights very quick, yet precise.

The next UFC event, 208, is set for Saturday, February 11 with headliner Holly Holm versus Germaine de Randamie.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
