Brian Ortega Says Chan Sung Jung Is Stalling Fight Talks, Jung Tells Him To Come To South Korea

Brian Ortega and Chan Sung Jung were originally supposed to meet last year in the main event of UFC Fight Night Busan, but Ortega suffered a knee injury and was replaced by former UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar.

There have been talks of another fight coming together between the two, but Ortega has taken to Instagram to claim that Jung is using stall tactics to keep the fight from happening:

I am sure you are aware why I can’t go to the states at this time. If you would come to Korea , I am ready even in July. Otherwise, stay calm waiting for me. #seeyousoon —

It should be noted that while there are certain travel restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic, none exist right now between the United States and South Korea.
