05:13 PM ET 06.19 | Chan Sung Jung, otherwise known as the 'Korean Zombie,' admitted he did feel bad for Ricardo Lamas for getting the title shot over him against Jose Aldo at UFC 163. "I do feel bad about it. I honestly think he was next in line, due to my time off, but I was told I was getting the next title shot after the Poirier fight. While I do feel bad for him, I wouldn't give this opportunity up for the world," Jung said.

"In my judgement you decided to supply Class A drugs when your contract with UFC was terminated," Judge Mark Brown told Kelly, according to the Liverpool Echo. "You obviously enjoyed the high life and saw selling heroin as an easy way to make money."

Last week, these requirements were brought to UFC???s attention and we immediately began working to ensure that all athletes affected by this are in full compliance. We are continuing to work on this and anticipate a positive outcome.
