The-Korean-Zombie-Brian-Ortega-UFC

The main event of UFC on ESPN+ 38 is a grudge match between former featherweight title challengers Brian Ortega and The Korean Zombie. These two do not like each other and the slapping incident at UFC 248 made this a grudge match. Ortega has not fought in nearly two years since suffering a TKO loss to Max Holloway at UFC 231, while The Korean Zombie is coming off of spectacular knockouts of Frankie Edgar and Renato Moicano.

In the co-main event, former UFC women’s strawweight champion Jessica Andrade makes her flyweight debut when she takes on top contender Katlyn Chookagian. Andrade is coming off of back-to-back losses to Rose Namajunas and Weili Zhang, while Chookagian is coming off of a dominant win over Antonina Shevchenko in her last outing.
