Conor McGregor's rise in the UFC has helped the featherweight division reach a new level of popularity. This also opened opportunities for fans to place bets on different UFC odds. Besides the ''Notorious'' Irishman, other stars raised the bar in the 145-pound division, such as Jose Aldo, Max Holloway and Alexander Volkanovski, who are regular names in UFC betting.
But aside from these aforementioned superstars, impressive wins and finishes made the weight class even more exciting. Today, we will dive into the top five fastest finishes in the division's history.
Chan Sung Jung vs. Mark Hominick – 7 Seconds
After a successful UFC debut in March 2011, where he exacted revenge over Leonard Garcia and submitted him in the second round of their rematch, Chan Sung Jung, also known as the Korean Zombie, was pitted against Mark Hominick. Hominick was still fresh off his title defeat from Jose Aldo via unanimous decision but was considered one of the top featherweights then.
Hominick immediately went on attack mode from the opening bell by throwing an overhand left hook. Unfortunately, he missed badly and was out of balance, to which Chan Sung Jung countered perfectly with a straight right hand which knocked him down. The Korean Zombie followed it up with ground-and-pound punches to close the match in just seven seconds.
