[스포츠서울 글·사진 | 이주상기자] “In my juniors’ games, I always go second. never missed out What a wonderful man!”
On the 29th, AFC (Angel Fighting Championship) 19 was held at Sindorim Techno Mart in Guro-gu, Seoul. The main event of the day was a heavyweight title fight, when Choi Mu-bae, 51, defeated Hye-seok Son, who is 16 years younger than him, with a TKO with a punch in the second round, and for the first time in his life, he wore the championship belt around his waist.
The co-main event was a welterweight interim title fight, and Kim Sang-wook, a disciple of ‘Stun Gun’ Kim Dong-hyun, ‘steel unit’, defeated Ahn Jae-young to become the champion.
On this day, many star fighters caught the attention of the fans with their hot matches, but the star that drew the most attention was Chan-seong Jung, the ‘Korean Zombie’.
Chansung Jung challenged for the title for the second time in his career at UFC 273 held in Jacksonville, Florida on the 10th, but was blocked by champion Alexander Volkanovsky and lost in the fourth round by TKO by a referee stop.
At that time, foreign media praised Chan-Sung Jung for his struggle, but the complete defeat left only a scar for Chan-Sung Jung. It was the worst of his playing career, including remarks about his retirement due to his overwhelming skill gap.
Chan-seong Jung, who thought he was going to be hiding after the worst defeat in his career, surprised the crowd by appearing as the second of his junior Park Jae-hyun at AFC 19. It had been less than 20 days since Volkanovsky’s showdown, so his appearance in the event caused a stir in the arena.
His appearance was not expected because the fans knew that the pain of the defeat was great. However, as the team’s manager and the team’s second, Chan-Sung Chung endlessly ordered a strategy by screaming whale whales at Jae-Hyeon Park, and Jae-Hyeon Park, as if responding to that, pleased his teacher by winning a unanimous decision victory over his opponent, Seung-Hyeon Park.
After the match, Chan-seong Jeong responded to the cheers of the crowd by raising his hand one by one, and patted Jae-Hyun Park on the buttocks, saying ‘Good job’ and left.
An AFC official said, “Chang-Sung Jeong always goes second in the matches of juniors. he never missed He’s a nice guy,” he said with a thumbs up.
