We’ll never know if Brian Ortega ’s new (lack of) hairstyle played a factor in his win over “The Korean Zombie,” but the shaved-head version of Ortega looked calm, cool and collected on his way to an upset win. Ortega (15-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) returned from a layoff of nearly two years to take a unanimous decision from fellow former featherweight title challenger Chan Sung Jung (16-6 MMA, 6-3 UFC). The win put him in line to be the next challenger for champion Alexander Volkanovski. Jung was more than a 2-1 favorite over Ortega in the fight. The featherweight bout was the UFC on ESPN+ 38 main event at Flash Forum at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi
