Both fighters are coming off a loss. But all losses are not alike.
Chan Sung Jung was one second away from making it to the final horn when he was knocked out by a spectacular Yair Rodriguez elbow. Renato Moicano, on the other hand, was one win away from a featherweight title shot when he lost via TKO to Jose Aldo.
Now Moicano and Jung are back, facing each other in the main event of Saturday’s UFC Fight Night in Greenville, South Carolina. The main card fights are on ESPN+, getting underway at 7 p.m. ET, with prelims on ESPN2 at 4 p.m.

Moicano (13-2-1) had won two in a row prior to the Aldo fight, after suffering his first career loss against Brian Ortega in 2017. Jung (14-5) also has a loss to Aldo, back in 2013, the only blemish in a five-fight run interrupted by miltary service in his native South Korea.
Also on the card: John Lineker vs. Rob Font at men’s bantamweight and Ashley Yoder vs. Syuri Kondo at strawweight.
