Henry Cejudo has been quite the character in the MMA space after retiring from the UFC in 2020. He is now working with Chan Sung Jung ahead of his featherweight title fight against Alexander Volkanovski.

Korean Zombie was a little bit skeptical at first considering the way Henry Cejudo acts online. The UFC featherweight was pleasantly surprised once he actually started working with him.

“Henry really surprised him a lot, because we’ve seen him a lot in camp and stuff like that, but Zombie got the title shot and he’s been helping out so much,” Jung’s translator and head coach, Eddie Cha, said on Jung’s behalf on Monday’s The MMA Hour, via MMA Fighting.

“He’s been at every practice, every team meeting that we have for Zombie. He’s actually doing sparring rounds, playing around with him, so he’s super grateful. He didn’t realise he was so intelligent, fight-IQ-wise and everything else.

“Like when you see him on TV, he’s cringey and all that, but off camera he’s telling [Jung] what to do, he’s wrestling, coaching him as he play spars and stuff like that. So he’s a huge part of this camp.”
