Chang Sung Jung bounced back from a last-second knockout loss in emphatic fashion, knocking out Renato Moicano with a textbook maneuver in the first round of the UFC on ESPN+ 12 main event.
A slip and a right hand sent Moicano (13-3-1 MMA, 5-3 UFC) tumbling to the canvas, and Jung pounced to close out at finish just 58 seconds into the ESPN+ main event 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.
Moicano tried to grapple his way to safety immediately after taking the punch, giving up his back as Jung tried to cinch a choke. When an escape failed, Jung was in prime position to land follow up shots, and referee Blake Grice quickly stepped in to stop the fight.
For Jung, the turnaround couldn’t have been more perfect after being on his way to a scorecard victory against Yair Rodriguez in Feburary at UFC Fight Night 139 this past November. A stunning reverse elbow knocked Jung out with one second left in the fifth round, sending him back to the drawing board after a knockout win over Dennis Burmudez.
Jung 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.
