Fight Night 24 Results: The Korean Zombie Twists Leonard Garcia
Posted on March 26, 2011, 09:44 PM by Anton GurevichSecond fight between Leonard Garcia and The Korean Zombie Chan Sung Jung lived up to all the expectations with another great display of striking, and a surprising finish in the end.
Both Jung and Garcia exchanged punches and kicks in Round 1, with the Garcia being slightly more effective than the Korean veteran. However, at the end of the round, Jung managed to take down Garcia, delivering heavy damage from the top.
Round 2 delivered more of the same, as the fighters continued to exchange in the middle of the Octagon. But most spectacular moment was when Jung once again took the action to the ground, where he locked Jung in a virtuoso Twister Submission, inspired by the 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu guru Eddie Bravo.
During his post-fight interview The Korean Zombie revealed that he learned the submission by watching Eddie Bravo's YouTube videos. Thanks to the victory, Jung bounces back from two consecutive defeats and improves his MMA record to 11-3.

Sick Sub....Korean Zombie always delivers
Sub of the night is a lock, the other fighters might as well forget about it
He still comes to fight... I think that is all he meant by the comment.
Good technique although i have been in this position myself and with a couple of seconds left maybe he should of held on it didnt look like it was in a choke position, maybe im being too harsh but i didnt like the conservative style garcia fought tonight either why chnage when yur winning however controversial it may be?
"Jung once again took the action to the ground, where he locked Jung in a virtuoso Twister Submission"
I think you meant he locked Garcia.
Sick sub by Korean Zombie. My first time seeing that one.
...he locked himself
One of my new favorite submissions
It was amazing to see the twister finally being pulled off. It was beautiful. Like Joe Rogan said "Somewhere out there, Eddie Bravo is smiling."
I hope to see more 10th Planet techniques soon again.
Sick submission from The Korean Zombie.
Hey remember i sharped your comment about !0th Planet Jiu-Jitsu yesterday. You called it buddy.
Amazing finish! He did a wonderful job!
Pretty much orgasm'd after seeing him pull that off, got me pretty psyched.
I love watching a good grappler!
Every fighter has a punchers chance, to get in a lucky punch, but I have yet to see such a submission. I watched that sub over and over again. The Zombie abided to a old truth; position before submission.
Eddie Bravo is a innovative guru, thank's to him the sport evolves. I hope some one would bring more leglocks in to the game. You don't see them in the ufc. In M-1 they're used quite often. Wonder why??
its a bjj thing. bjj is a very popular style in the ufc whereas m1 uses sambo as the primary ground style. bjj is oriented more towards chokes and sambo uses many more leg locks
Leg locks can be very effective but the damage caused can be permanent and possibly career ending. By the time someone tries to tap from a leg lock, it might be too late and the damage may already be done. I can't speak for all fighters but I know there are some fighters that won't even go for that sub because they know they could possibly end their opponent's career. I can respect that.
Got a new fav sub now!!! Jung fought well, doing good in the stand up, not gettin sucked in when Garcia wanted to start being a "badboy" and banging. Still showed well rounded skill and awareness. Good fight, wish i would have picked him.
Me too. I loved that sub. It got me so hype.
me and my friend who were watching just turned at each other, same time were "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT"!!!!! I didnt even realize he was turning his body just thoguht the strain on the head was terrible but ill be damned it was sexy.
