9. Leonard Garcia vs. Chan Sung Jung WEC 48

While the WEC was under the Zuffa banner, but before the divisions were absorbed into the UFC, Leonard Garcia and the Korean Zombie had their first fight. Garcia won via split decision but many people didn’t see it that way.

The Korean Zombie landed 89 significant strikes to Garcia’s 64, and neither fighter landed a takedown, yet 2 of 3 judges gave the fight to Garcia.

When both fighters were in the UFC the following year, they would meet again on a UFC Fight Night event. This time Zombie would get the submission victory over Garcia using a “twister”, which Joe Rogan stated would make 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu founder Eddie Bravo happy.

Garcia’s career fell apart after losing the rematch, he lost his next four fights and was gone from the UFC.
