Ricardo Lamas probably has seen better days. It was only a month ago that Lamas was thinking about the virtues of “The Korean Zombie,” and, for lack of a better way to put it, the reasons why the UFC might like Chan Sung Jung just a little more than him. Of course, at that time, Lamas (13-2 MMA, 4-0 UFC) was booked to fight Jung (13-3 MMA, 3-0 UFC) at UFC 162 just two weeks from now. Then the bottom dropped out. A little more than a week ago, Jung was pulled from the fight – which likely would have determined the next challenger UFC’s featherweight title. He took his three-fight win streak and jumped right into a title fight against Jose Aldo at UFC 163 in August when Anthony Pettis had to pull out with a knee injury. It’s the kind of thing that just happens in MMA, but it may have seemed especially cruel to Lamas, who is 4-0 since dropping to 145 pounds, since it was Pettis who leapfrogged him in February by texting UFC President Dana White to ask for a chance to drop down from his No. 1 contender spot at lightweight to challenge Aldo at featherweight
