Fans have been asking for months what the main event of UFC Fight Night 154 would be, and for the longest period, no one understood. The event takes place June 22 at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina, and also neighborhood boy Stephen”Wonderboy” Thompson inaccessible to fight so soon after the beating he took against Anthony Pettis in March, it was difficult to predict who would headline the card.
Now we understand.
The UFC announced this week that the primary event of UFC Fight Night 154 is going to be a thrilling five-round featherweight fight between”The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung and Renato Moicano. These are a couple of the best featherweights in the world, and this fight should be a lot of fun. It May not be a title battle, but you would be hard-pressed to see any lovers complain about this struggle Jung (14-5) is coming from a last-second KO loss to Yair Rodriguez in UFC Fight Night 139 in one of the greatest MMA battles of all time. Jung was well on his way to winning the bout before he got caught with an unorthodox upwards elbow by Rodriguez at the 4:59 mark of the fifth round and suffered a shocking weight loss loss. His UFC record dropped but the truth says everything about Jung. Win or lose, Jung is one of the most exciting fighters we have ever seen in the game. It will be difficult to recuperate from such a barbarous KO after such a war of a struggle, however after taking over six weeks off to cure, hopefully he is 100% healthy and good to go for this fight. The loss to Rodriguez knocked him out of the featherweight title picture for the time being, but if he can conquer Moicano, he’ll jump right back in the mix.
Moicano (13-2-1) is coming from a brutal KO reduction, this one to Jose Aldo back at UFC Fight Night 144. Like Jung, Moicano was winning the fight until Aldo turned back the clock unleashed a violent flurry of strikes that knocked Moicano out. Overall he’s 5-2 at the UFC and one of the best featherweights in the world. Besides losses to Aldo and Brian Ortega — there’s no shame to shedding to either of those guys — Moicano has been one of the best featherweights in the UFC otherwise. Like Jung, he needs to rally from his last loss in order to rejoin the featherweight title mix, but there is no reason to thing that he can not do it.
The odds for this battle ought to be interesting when they come out, but if I had to guess, Moicano will be marginally preferred. Bettors will probably be seeking to fade Jung coming off of the bad loss while Moicano is someone who constantly gets a lot of respect from the gambling public. But it’s definitely a close fight that could go either way, and MMA fans in Carolina ought to be excited that they landed such an exciting struggle as the main event of UFC Fight Night 154.
