UFC fighter Mark Hominick trains for his December bout at Adrenaline Training Center in London, Ont.GEOFF ROBINS

Mark Hominick's opponent at UFC 140 goes by the nickname "The Korean Zombie," and is known for his ability to absorb almost inhuman amounts of punishment and keep coming forward.

Given Hominick's preference to stand and use his striking, the featherweight bout with Jung Chan-Sung could produce fireworks.

"It's definitely going to be a fan-friendly fight," Hominick said. "I have to be smart. I can't get caught up in his style of fight. He likes to drag guys into the trenches and battle it out in the centre of the octagon."

Hominick, 20-9-0, says the key to beating Jung, 11-3-0, is to stay committed to a tactical game plan.

"A lot of guys with granite chins have suspect bodies," Hominick said. "I want to use a lot of body attacks and keep him guessing. I plan to frustrate him and wear him out."

Hominick hasn't fought since his loss to Jose Aldo at UFC 129 in April. Jung is coming off a win over Leonard Garcia in March, when he became the first UFC fighter to ever finish a bout with a twister submission.
