Mmmmm how about some Seattle fight card news? Nam Phan injured, @KoreanZombieMMA steps in for HIS rematch with Leonard Garcia!
Rainer Lee (SquishingMachine) talks about their fight at WEC 48:
Saturday evening, April 24, 2010. Leonard “Bad Boy” Garcia and “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung stand before the judges, sweating through their logo-covered t-shirts, waiting for the scorecards. Between the exhausted featherweights is a trash heap of telegraphed kicks, exposed jaws, and reckless haymakers far off the mark, piled one on top of the other, over and over. No otherworldly jiu-jitsu was to be had in their 15-minute fight, and no immaculate boxing, either. Garcia vs. Jung was a dog fight, a game of chicken, a trench war 1914. It was the sloppiest, most reckless, bullheaded display of mixed martial arts we’ve seen in months. It may be the best fight we’ve seen all year.
