UFC featherweight Chan Sung Jung, aka "The Korean Zombie" spars with former Pride heavyweight champ Fedor Emelianenko on "Star King" a South Korean TV show. Jung wasn't alone, the Russian Sambo fighter also did demonstrations of his technique with Korean entertainer Boom and Actor Kim Bosung.
HT Ian Parr
Here are a couple of screen grabs from the show:
No word on Fedor's next MMA opponent. He beat Japanese Judoka Satoshi Ishii by first round TKO at the Dream New Year's Eve special.
"There are currently no concrete conversations about Bobby being the next opponent for Fedor," according to Fedor's management team at M-1 Global. Possible locations for the summer fight include Monaco and Russia.
Jung KO'd Mark Hominick in the first round of their bout at UFC 140 and is high on the list of possible title challengers for UFC featherweight champ Jose Aldo. I'd expect Jung to have to win one more fight before getting his shot at Aldo.

"He beat Japanese Judoka by first round TKO"
I think there’s a name missing here…

thanks!

I always get a kick out of Fedor’s childish grin in his sparring matches
midwestbred - January 29, 2012
while he seriously overdoes it
HitokiriX - January 29, 2012
He doesn't overdo it.
Exhibit A:
Exhibit B:
That’s just Fedor being Fedor. That’s weird enough.
Unabomberman - January 29, 2012
not the smile
his exhibition matches
HitokiriX - January 29, 2012
Yeah, I get what you mean now.
He really hams it up, doesn’t he? But that’s okay, silly as it may be.
Unabomberman - January 29, 2012
lol yea
HitokiriX - January 29, 2012
He's flashy with the high elevation judo throws, but I don't think he's slamming KZ or Aoki very hard.
ElliotMatheny - January 29, 2012
"Japanese Jukoka" is now Satoshi Ishii's only nickname.
Just amazing. I love it. Editing be damned!
TruthJunky - January 29, 2012
I just failed myself. Ugh. Hahaha.
TruthJunky - January 29, 2012
No, don’t worry. I’m just going to slam you on your side a couple times then break your arm.
Hardy's in your face - January 29, 2012
Why did you correct it, Nate?
Japanese Judoka was the tits.
Unabomberman - January 29, 2012
Fedor is back!
LOL.

The way Jung posted his arm during that throw reminded me of
Could you imagine Fedor breaking someone accidentally on one of these silly shows?
RolloTomasi - January 29, 2012
I wonder if Dana had to ok this
tigerlee - January 29, 2012
My first thought as well.
StephenDedalus - January 29, 2012
Was anyone else secretly hoping for the schadenfreude of Zombie sleeping Fedor?
John Danaher's Hair - January 29, 2012
I'm always hoping one of these shows would break out into a heated brawl,
maybe they should invite the Diaz bros.
RolloTomasi - January 29, 2012
I was hoping for a twister.
Zachary Kater - January 29, 2012
kz may actually be his next opponent.
gspmademegay - January 29, 2012
No way
K Zomb still fights in the UFC.
RolloTomasi - January 29, 2012
Same height as a FW...
Drop weight (including management weight) and have a talk with Dana, please.
tigerlee - January 29, 2012
I don't think Dana gives a shit about Fedor anymore.
Zachary Kater - January 29, 2012
But people still give a shit about Fedor
If James Toney could be let in the Octagon, anything is possible.
tigerlee - January 29, 2012
I think its safe to say that Fedor would be a beast at Featherweight
Immortal_JL - January 29, 2012
yay! Fedor beat a fighter under UFC contract
T.P. Grant - January 29, 2012
Holy shit Fedor is small! KZ looks almost as big!
J_Maddux - January 29, 2012
Is that Fedor's best win since CroCop in 2005?
Verklemptomaniac - January 29, 2012
That is some pride level match making there. Weight mismatch be damned!
ReAnimator - January 29, 2012
Fedor got that 145er speed when he's having fun
HAVE MORE FUN WHEN YOU FIGHT FOR REAL DAMNIT
menckenstein - January 30, 2012
yeah he knows he is not going get hit
kz looked like he was holding himself back for punching fedor
