Okay, so granted, the feature attractions for last night’s UFC Fight Night card in Seattle probably didn’t wear out the edges of many seats, as both Phil Davis and Anthony Johnson utilized their wrestling to score conservative wins over “Minotoro” Nogueira and Dan Hardy respectively. Not exactly thrilling stuff, but hey, sometimes ya gotta do whatcha gotta do.
Thankfully the undercard had several ‘holy eff’ moments, including, yup, Chan Sung Jung’s freakin awesome submission win over Leonard Garcia, which came via a “Twister.” How bad ass was that? Of course, “The Korean Zombie” won Submission of the Night and an extra 55 large for utilizing the rarely seen technique, which guess what? Apparently he learned by watching it on the world-wide-web thingy. In an interview posted up at MMA Weekly, Jung had this to say about his latest addition to the MMA highlight reel, hall of fame.
“Yes, it was something I actually saw a long time ago on the internet; it’s one of Eddie Bravo’s moves. It was something I practiced because it just looks fun, so I do it quite a bit in practice. I always told people that I was going to try it sometime in competition; that I wanted to do it in the UFC, and I was finally able to.”
We are all forever in your debt Mr. Jung. Looks like someone’s going to be moving a few more of those Korean Zombie t-shirts no?
