Cub Swanson Provides First Test In Chan Sung Jung's WEC Career

MMA Mania brings news of "Korean Zombie" Chan Sung Jung's WEC debut:

Fast-rising Korean featherweight prospect Chan Sung Jung (10-1) recently signed a six-fight deal with the WEC -- and now the promotion has secured his welcoming party in the form of division standout Cub Swanson (14-3) at the upcoming April 24 pay-per-view from the Arco Arena in Sacramento, CA.

After getting obliterated by Jose Aldo in just eight seconds back at WEC 41: "Brown vs. Faber 2" in June 2009, Swanson rebounded nicely with a submission win (rear naked choke) over John Franchi at the WEC 44: "Brown vs. Aldo" event back in November.

The California native is considered one of the promotions up-and-coming stars and could prove to be a formidable test for the Korean import.

Here's a highlight video of Jung:

His forward, pressing style when standing up tends to melt opponents as they're forced to defend, defend, defend.  Couple that pressing style with a very good ground game with a high level of finishing skill.  Swanson isn't afraid to bang with someone but he may have the same trouble he had against Aldo where when he is forced to fight someone more aggressive he can't figure out a way to get his game going.  Then again, he only had 8 seconds to figure it out before Aldo finished him.
