2009 SENGOKU Featherweight GP participant Chan Sung Jung will face former Lumpinee welterweight champion and 2002 Asian Games gold medalist in Sanda, Pajonsuk S.K.V, at It’s Showtime: Prague (click here for the card) on February 13th. This will be Jung’s first kickboxing match in 2 years, and he is regarded by many (including himself) as a heavy underdog. “I decided to take the offer because I figured it would help me a great deal. Everyone is expecting me to lose because of the caliber of my opponent, but no matter how good my opponent is I won’t fight with the ‘I-have-nothing-to-lose’ mentality. I’m going to come back with the W.” said Jung regarding his upcoming return to the kickboxing ring.

The Korean Zombie himself confirmed this report on a popular Korean MMA forum. He wanted to make it clear that he wasn’t offered the fight in favor of the more experienced Korean kickboxers and that he jumped at the opportunity because most top Korean kickboxers who were offered the fight first had to decline because of the upcoming K-1 MAX event in Korea. He explained that an experience in such a big venue with fighters like Badr Hari in it and the fact that it would hone his striking skills made it an easy decision. He also said that he wouldn’t have sought the fight had it been offered to other kickboxers (perhaps because he didn’t want to “steal” the fight from them).

Lastly, he said that he expects some good news in March or April, which he’s excited about. Stay tuned for an update as I’m sure he’ll let the fans know once it’s confirmed. – (Thanks to mdhan for the article)

All I ask is that Pajonsuk doesn't take Jung's head off.

What will the rules be? K-1? MT? Because if it's MT he's going to get f'd up, if it's K-1 then that limits Pajunsuk's skills (I don't know him but I'm assuming as a thai MT practitioner his main weapons would be limited by K-1 rules a la Buakaw)

tough, tough fight for CSJ. Don't count him out however, he has some good power on his punches and he definitely has a chin worthy of Pajunsuk

Jung was DQ'ed for KO'ing Pajonsuk with a spinning back fist lol. Just read a thread someone posted on K-1Fans.

Why would that be a DQ?

That rules

I googled "chan sung jung" and pajonsuk with only results in the last 24 hours, and one translated page referred to spinning backfist as "banned technique", how lame is that?

K-1 rules prohibit Spinning back fists, It's Showtime uses K-1 rules.

Not exactly, you can throw spinning back fists (or "back blows") in Japan or rather K-1 events held in Japan. It's Showtime has their own rules, even though they're based on K-1 rules. It's Showtime brought over their rules to Prague - in The Netherlands spinning back fists are prohibited for the sole reason they can cause cuts by inadvertently ending up as spinning back elbows.

Seems like Jung was outmatched, still if the fight took place outside of Europe he'd probably have a KO victory over Pajunsuk on his record.
