Midway through the calendar, we’ve already seen hundreds of fights across the MMA landscape, from old reliables like the UFC to upstarts like Moosin and organizations trying to get to the next level like Bellator.
During that time, we’ve seen our fair share of clunkers and adrenaline pumpers, but as far as the best goes, one stands out from the crowd.
Chan Sung Jung vs. Leonard Garcia at WEC 48 is the easy pick for the best fight of 2010 so far, and it really isn’t even close. Some people have suggested that the fight deserved to be downgraded because it lacked, shall we say, artistic merit. It wasn’t a technical masterpiece, with both men resorting to bombs-away haymakers at several points, but what it lacked in textbook application, it more than made up for in raw grit and heart.
