Chan Sung Jung was on his way to victory at UFC Denver if not for that final second.
In the main event of UFC Denver, Jung took on Yair Rodriguez. The action took place inside the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado. The “Korean Zombie” and “El Pantera” went to war and were both a bit busted up. Jung appeared to be a slight step ahead of Rodriguez as the fight went along, but he couldn’t escape the wildly creative striking of his opponent.

UFC Denver also featured a welterweight bout between hometown favorite Donald Cerrone and Mike Perry. “Cowboy” ended up winning that bout via first-round submission. While there was some banter going into that bout due to Cerrone’s split from Jackson-Wink MMA, “Cowboy” showed what truly matters. Cerrone had his infant son enter the Octagon and proudly held him up to the delight of the Denver crowd.
Fans also got to see prospect Maycee Barber dismantle Hannah Cifers. After the destruction, Barber called for a bout with Mackenzie Dern. The two once competed under the Legacy Fighting Alliance banner, but a bout between the two never materialized. Visit the MMA News homepage for the aftermath of UFC Denver.
