JAKARTA - Floods have hit South Korea in recent days. The streets of Seoul are said to have been affected.

Residents of Seoul are now having a hard time doing their activities due to being trapped by the flood. UFC fighter Jung Chan-sung also feels the same way.

The fighter, nicknamed the Korean Zombie, is stuck in the gym after training. The high water puddle that hit the area around the gym made it impossible for him to go anywhere.

This moment was immortalized by Chan-sung through photos. In the photo, you can see the flood covering the road, while the rain continues to pour.

The current intensity of rain is recorded as the heaviest in Seoul since 1942. With 17 inches (43cm) of rain falling since last Monday, the Dongjak district was the worst inundated area.

In fact, eight people reportedly died due to flooding in one of the busiest business and leisure districts in Seoul. While Chan-sung calls himself well when extreme weather hits.

This Korean zombie still regularly trains in the gym even though he is still considering his future in the UFC. With a 17-7 record, Chan-sung is still a feared competitor in the featherweight division.

But because of a defeat that occurred during the title fight, Chan-sung had said, quitting is an option.

Jung's first title fight took place in 2013. But then he was stopped by Jose Also in the fourth round.

The situation then becomes deja vu for Chan-sung nine years later. Because this time against Alexander Volkanovski, Chan-sung also lost in the fourth round via TKO.

With the age of 35, Chan-sung is starting to find it difficult to win. The Korean zombie admits after a losing streak it may be time to give up on his title dreams.

“Every time I lose a match like this, I think about quitting,” Jung said in his post-fight interview.

“Even though only time will tell, I feel like I won't be a champion anymore. I'm not sure if it's right for me to continue this."
