Quoteworthy:
"Everybody he's fought, he's come after them. What's crazy is when you watch him fight he's all over the place. He does things aren't technical... a lot like I do. It's gonna be hard to win 'Fight of the Night' because some of the fights that are on there, but I think me and him actually have the skill set to put on a great show. We're gonna try and knock each other out. That's my kind of fight. After a close decision and a draw decision, I'm tired of the bad taste. I want to get it out. This fight is the fight that's gonna do it for me."
Former UFC lightweight and hot-and-cold WEC featherweight Leonard Garcia hopes to resurrect the exciting style that garnered him so much attention from the mixed martial arts community earlier in his career. "Bad Boy" had a bad showing in his previous two encounters, dropping a unanimous decision to Manny Gamburyan and then slugging his way to a draw against George Roop. Can Garcia revive his career against "The Korean Zombie?" Or will Chang Sung Jung bury him on April 24 at WEC 48?

I like the photoshop because Garcia is already ugly enough to be called a zombie himself. How did Jung get that nickname?

He keeps on ticking.... the man has a serious chin.
Big power too, He was definitely gonna truck Cub swanson but i think he gets it done to Garcia too. And hopefully the betting are off. His one loss is a damn robbery at the FW tourney from last year. He was looking like a dark horse.

everybody chang jung tonight
When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

Good to hear
But I’m still lookin forward to seeing what Jung can do as he’s an unknown entity to me and I’ve heard nothing but good things. Not that Garcia isn’t entertaining but I don’t see him going after the belt again, if Jung can string together a few wins he could be a contender.

Garcia might not be the greatest fighter in the world
But I love the heart he brings into the cage. He always comes to bring in a show and never once backs down from a brawl. I’d love to see him do better on the ground BECAUSE I like him, but whatever he brings, I know he’s bringing it 100% each and every time.
