Dustin Poirier And Chan Sung Jung To Main Event UFC On Fuel TV 3

Photo

The Twitter feud heard around the world has materialized into a battle of two of the top UFC Featherweight contenders.

Dustin Poirier will put his five-fight winning streak on the line against the crowd-pleasing "Korean Zombie" Chan Sung Jung. Poirier just came off a sleek armbar/triangle combo submission victory over UFC newcomer Max Holloway last Saturday at UFC 143. Following that victory, Dustin Poirier had this to say on Twitter:

DustinPoirier The Diamond

I want to go Zombie hunting!!

"The Korean Zombie" had a solid rebuttal:

KoreanZombieMMA Chan Sung Jung

Dustin Poirier? 6 seconds!

For those that aren't in the know, Jung is referencing his 7 second KO victory over Mark Hominick at UFC 140. While I'm sure Jung was having a good chortle at this, Poirier had this rebuttal:

DustinPoirier The Diamond

.@KoreanZombieMMA Trust me you don't want this... I will expose you.

The two will main event the UFC on Fuel TV 3 card on May 15th in Fairfax, Virginia. The card was initially supposed to be broadcast on FX but it seems that broadcast plans have changed. The card is looking stacked thus far and we'll keep you informed on more bout announcements in addition to these planned fights.

solid solid card

God help me, I lusted, and there is a promise in such sweat. But it is a whore's vengeance, and you must see it; I set myself entirely in your hands. I know you must see it now.
