Bengaluru, November 7: The Ultimate Fighting Championship are in Denver this weekend to celebrate the 25th anniversary by hosting UFC Fight Night 139: Korean Zombie vs. Rodriguez at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado on Saturday (November 10).

A featherweight bout between former title challenger Chan Sung Jung and The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America featherweight winner Yair Rodriguez will serve as the main event of the card.

The card was originally scheduled to be headlined by former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar, but The Answer was forced to pull out due to injury and Rodriguez replaced him to take on The Korean Zombie.

Chan Sung Jung has won four of his five fights in the UFC with his last outing coming over a year ago in February 2017 when he defeated Dennis Bermudez via a first-round KO. The Korean Zombie's only loss in the promotion came when he lost the featherweight title bout against Jose Aldo in 2013 at UFC 163.

The El Pantera, meanwhile, has won six of seven fights in UFC with that sole loss coming in his last outing when he was TKO'ed by Edgar via doctor's stoppage in May 2017.

In the co-main event, we will see a welterweight bout between Cowboy Donald Cerrone and the Platinum Mike Perry.

The veteran Cerrone will look to get back among the win columns after losing his last fight to Leon Edwards earlier this year in June. Before dropping his last fight, he snapped a three-fight skid with a stoppage win over Yancy Mederios via TKO earlier this year in February 2018.

Perry, meanwhile, has lost two of his three fights, but got back in the win column after earning a split decision win over Paul Felder at UFC 226 in July this year.

Also on the main card features a women's bantamweight bout between Raquel Pennington and Germaine de Randamie, while Maycee Barber takes on Hannah Cifers in a women's strawweight bout. Plus, we will also see Joseph Benavidez meet Ray Borg at flyweight, while Mike Trizano faces Luis Pena in a lightweight bout.

Earlier on the preliminary card, we will see the likes of Ashley Yoder, Amanda Cooper, Beneil Dariush and Mark de la Rosa in action.
