The featherweight division in the UFC has become one of the most exciting in all of MMA. Next month, 145-pound champion Jose Aldo puts his title on the line against “The Korean Zombie,” Chan Sung Jung , at UFC 163. It’s a fight that came about only after former WEC lightweight champ Anthony Pettis fell out of the title fight with a knee injury. Jung then was moved into the slot – after more than a year off recovering from injuries. That title opportunity came much to the chagrin of fighters like Ricardo Lamas , who was scheduled to meet the “Zombie” at this past weekend’s UFC 162, and Cub Swanson . But Jung has the title shot nonetheless, with Lamas and Swanson waiting in the wings. Now you can take a look back at the fight that got Aldo his featherweight title to begin with – his championship win over Mike Brown at WEC 44. Check out the full fight video above.
