Chang Sung Jung knocked out Renato Moicano with a textbook maneuver in the first round of the “UFC on ESPN+ 12” main event.
He needed just 58 seconds into the bout at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, S.C.
Jung (15-5 MMA, 5-2 UFC) also picked up a $50,000 win for his fifth career knockout while handing Moicano his second knockout loss.
“Korean Zombie” continues to bounce between wins and losses in his past four outings, but said he’s ready to face top-tier competition. Moicano suffers his second consecutive knockout loss after a second-round stoppage against ex-champ Jose Aldo in February.
