For today’s matchup, we’ve got two classic bangers, both with late finishes…

Dustin Poirier vs. “Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung was a gritty main event matchup for UFC on FUEL TV 3 way back on May 15, 2012. Poirier landed big punches throughout, but ended up getting rocked by Zombie in the fourth round, and subsequently submitted with a D’arce. This was a great fight with a definitive ending!

Eddie Alvarez vs. Justin Gaethje took place at UFC 218 on December 2, 2017 and was litty city! As advertised, the two willing brawlers stood toe-to-toe, dishing it out just as well as they were taking it in — until somebody fell. This is definitely one of those ‘edge of your seat’ sort of fights. Plenty of damage was dished out by both men, but ultimately, it was Alvarez who landed a brutal knee to the face that dropped Gaethje and led to the follow up finish.
