Frankie Edgar has stepped in to fight „The Korean Zombie“ on short notice after Brian Ortega was forced to withdraw from UFC Busan. Edgar vs Zombie was a fight that was originally scheduled to go down at the UFC’s 25th Anniversary show last November but an injury took Edgar out of that match-up. Now we will finally get to see these two stars go to war in Zombie’s home country. It should be an incredible showdown.
Elsewhere on the card is a ranked match-up at light heavyweight between Volkan Oezdemir and Aleksandar Rakic. Both fighters are coming off of big time finishes and it will be a high octane battle. A crucial flyweight showdown between Alexandre Pantoja and Matt Schnell is also set to take place. Pantoja is looking to bounce back after a loss to Deiveson Figueiredo and Schnell is looking to extend his win-streak to five.
