UFN 24 Breakdown: Jung Chan-Sung V Leonard Garcia

Saturday Night, Leonard Garcia and 'The Korean Zombie' Jung Chan-Sung will square off in a rematch of their original WEC 48 bout back in April of 2010. The fight ended in a controversial split decision in favor of the 'Bad Boy'.

The Zombie is coming off of two back-to-back losses, the first coming at WEC 48. The following at the hand of George Roop who gave Chan-Sung a wicked head kick that left the Korean knocked out cold before he even hit the canvas.

Leonard Garcia on the other hand is trying to break his streak of decisions, with his last six bouts ending in the hands of the judges, earning three wins, two losses, and a draw. Garcia's most recent fight ended in another controversial decision with a win over Ultimate Fighter 12 alum Nam Phan.

The two were originally slated to face off in a re-match but due to injury a few weeks ago, Phan pulled out and 'The Korean Zombie' signed on the dotted line,  exchanging one great re-match for another.

Look for Garcia to have the upperhand in the bout due to the simple fact he has been training for this fight. Originally tooling his game for the sharp strikes from the Karate specialist, he will now be facing the likes another striker.

Chan-Sung will come into the cage with less time prepared but will hold his own just fine. This will be a slugfest, and we may see another photo from above, which came from their WEC 48 exchange backstage after the three round war. Look for Garcia to walk away with another win via decision, he has the game to win easily, but lacks the power in his hands to finish fights.
