UFC Fight Night: Edgar vs. The Korean Zombie (also known as UFC Fight Night 165 and UFC on ESPN+ 23) was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that took place on December 21, 2019 at Sajik Arena in Busan, South Korea.[2][3]

Background

[edit | edit source]

The event marked the promotion's first visit to Busan and the second in South Korea, after UFC Fight Night: Henderson vs. Masvidal in November 2015.[2]

A featherweight bout between former UFC Featherweight Championship challengers Brian Ortega and Chan Sung Jung was originally slated as the event headliner.[4] However, Ortega pulled out of the fight in early December, citing a knee injury.[5] He was replaced by former UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar.[6] The two were previously scheduled to meet on November 10, 2018 at UFC Fight Night: The Korean Zombie vs. Rodríguez.[7] However, Edgar was forced to pull out of that bout after tearing his bicep.[8]

A flyweight bout between Ji Yeon Kim and Sabina Mazo was scheduled for the event. However, it was reported on November 1 that Kim was forced to pull out of the fight due to an undisclosed injury.[9]

A flyweight bout between Veronica Macedo and Amanda Lemos was scheduled for the event. However, Macedo was removed from the event in favor of a matchup with Ariane Lipski on November 16 at UFC Fight Night: Błachowicz vs. Jacaré.[10] Lemos instead fought Miranda Granger.[11]
