Oumar Sy just wants to fight

Jung, 30, has twice as many fights under his belt as Sy, with his last eight appearances coming under the UFC banner. He started extremely well, scoring finishes in each of his first two fights while going 4-0-1 in his first five appearances, climbing to the threshold of the top 15 by 2022.

Since then, however, the South Korean veteran has stumbled, suffering two consecutive losses to Dustin Jacoby, Devin Clark and Carlos Ulberg, so it's safe to assume that Jung will be in top form when he steps onto Sy's turf on Saturday.

“You know, honestly, I don't care about this opponent,” Sy admitted with a grin. “I know he has more fights than me, but I don't care – it's just someone standing in my way and I have to kill him and move on.”

So far he has always left the cage triumphant and doing so again this weekend will no doubt be something special for the promising 28-year-old.
