Top 5 blatant decision robberies in the UFC

#5 Chan Sung Jung vs Leonard Garcia 1

Revenge tastes sweeter with a rare submission

Although this fight didn't take place in the UFC but in the WEC 48 instead, I would still gladly include this fight in the list in lieu of the aftershock that it triggered. Not that it was the most blatant robbery as it was a split decision but the fight was, by no means, a closely contested mixed martial arts fight.

Jung dominated almost the entire fight with heavy shots in the clinch, multiple takedowns and vicious ground and pound, even catching Garcia in a close submission.

But all that effort went in vain as Garcia was awarded the victory. Fast forward one more year and the WEC is absorbed by the UFC and along with it, the featherweight division.

Jung now had a chance to avenge the loss against an undeserving fighter. Jung took the bull by the horns and went full blast into the fight, eventually knocking down Garcia with a well-timed jab and immediately taking his back.

With a beautiful back and forth display of elite grappling, Jung eventually found himself in half guard and as Garcia turned around with his back, Jung secured an unexpected twister. Never before in the history of the UFC had anyone used a twister to finish a fight.

Jung then went on to secure the submission and finished Leonard Garcia in the 2nd round. It is still the only twister in UFC history and another example of adversity and injustice kindling a call to action and subsequent success.
