Chan Sung Jung, Dustin Poirier Cleared for UFC on Fuel TV 3 Main Event

Chan Sung Jung checked in at 145 pounds for his matchup with Dustin Poirier (145) in the UFC on Fuel TV 3 “Korean Zombie vs. Poirier” main event on Tuesday at the Patriot Center in Fairfax, Va. The 10 other men booked for duty on the six-fight main card, including welterweight co-headliners Amir Sadollah (171) and Jorge Lopez (171), also met their contracted weight requirements without issue at Monday’s official weigh-in.

A protégé of “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 7 finalist Tim Credeur, Poirier will enter the cage on the strength of a five-fight winning streak. The 23-year-old Louisianan last fought at UFC 143 in February, when he submitted Max Holloway with a triangle armbar at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. Undefeated in four appearances under the UFC banner, Poirier has never lost as a featherweight.

UFC on Fuel TV 3 “Korean Zombie vs. Poirier” -- which airs at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on Fuel TV -- also features a lightweight matchup pairing Jackson’s Mixed Martial Arts standout Donald Cerrone (155) with Jeremy Stephens (155), a bantamweight duel pitting Yves Jabouin (135) against Jeff Hougland (135), a light heavyweight bout matching Fabio Maldonado (205.5) with Igor Pokrajac (205) and a middleweight tilt between Tom Lawlor (186) and Jason MacDonald (185).

The six preliminary fights will stream live to the UFC’s Facebook page: Brad Tavares (185) vs. Dongi Yang (186), Cody McKenzie (155) vs. Marcus LeVesseur (155), T.J. Grant (155) vs. Carlo Prater (155), Rafael dos Anjos (156) vs. Kamal Shalorus (155), Jeff Curran (135) vs. Johnny Eduardo (135) and Francisco Rivera (134) vs. Alex Soto (135).
