    Huerta/Guida from one of the TUF Finales was probably better but I can't think of many besides that. It was on the same night as PBF-Hatton.

    by far the best fight in the entire event! I thought the whole card was pretty good except for Faber and Aldo. It was pretty boring.

    Amazing fight, they re-played it on the actual PPV broadcast even though it aired free on Spike as a pre-lim.

    The only round you could make a case for Leo is the 2nd (personally, I still scored it for Sung-Jung, but it was a close round). He basically won the first two and a half minutes (mostly circling and potshotting with inside leg kicks), while the Zombie took control in the second half. Garcia's most dominant moment was the KD, while Jung's was the sequence of a dozen unanswered power punches he pinned Garcia against the fence.

    1st and 3rd were both clear ass-kickings.

    Garcia deserved major props for his toughness - but not the win.

    i just watched the Garcia fight and damn man good scrap, Both guys are warriors but after reading about the "terrible decision" i must say i dont agree. The fight could have went either way and Garcia Took all the Zombies shots very well and dished out the harder shots IMO.

    Bull****.

    It's one thing to talk about ten or twelve round boxing matches that "could have gone either way".

    This bout was only three rounds. Jung clearly won two - 1 and 3 (personally, I scored all three for him).

    This was not a bout that "could have gone either way". It was a close contest with a clear winner, scoring on a round by round basis.

    You could argue giving the 2nd to Garcia. You could not argue giving him the 1st or 3rd.

    Therefore, it is a terrible decision.

    And I like Garcia (and had never seen his opponent before).

    Great fight! the crowd was going nuts!
    Definately should do a rematch and set the record straight
    an MMA version of Gatti-Ward except a bit sloppier

    Completely agree. I was looking forward to Jung's WEC debut as I had seen him fight before a few times mainly in Sengoku. Wasn't expecting this fight to be as entertaining as it was though!

    Dana has said he is willing to arrange a rematch. :deal
