ok I went and watched both fights back to back and the deciding factor for me was not the fight but the after effects when the winner was declared.
Bonnar falling flat on his face sealed it for me.
anybody find it weird that the most memorable fights and the fights that mean the most to mma catapulting it more and more up on the sports latter are the fights that have nothing really to do with mma and are just the fights that guys put their hearts and souls into every second of the fight leaving everything on the line with absolutely no technical skills what so ever
Garcia/Jung all the way. Griffin/Bonnar isn't even close. Garcia/Jung was epic like Lidell/Silva, only it didn't matter that the fighters weren't superstars cause it was just that good.
Forest vs Bonnar partly because of the significance with in been the very first TUF finale, secondly because I enjoyed the fight more.
Garcia vs Jung was fun to watch but it was just a slug fest nether guy showed great self defence except for an ability to eat shots and I disagree with the decision had to be ether 29/28 to Jung or 30/27 to Jung.
Garcia Jung was the most entertaining fight I have seen in such a long time! Bonnar Griffin was alot more technical but Garcia Jung was unbelievably entertaining, and is fresh in my mind.
I had to go with Bonnar vs. Griffin because it was a closer fight. I really couldn't even call a winner in that fight. But in the KZ vs. Garcia it was pretty evident that Garcia didn't win that fight, so it automatically p*ssed me off Garcia got the decision. War Korean Zombie!!!
Your completely right. That fight was just a scrap. No good boxing or kickboxing or wrestling or jitz. Just 2 pretty inexperienced guys laying it all on the line trying to get the contract. IMHO not even a real good fight. Zombie -Garcia blew it away and so did Lidell- Wandy and a lot of other fights. That Bonnar -Griffin fight has been blown up Waaay out of proportion, unless of course you dont really know what your looking at.
garcia and zombie was entertaining, but it looked more like a street fight than an mma fight...so i give it to forrest and stephen, both awesome fights though!
Garcia Jung made the Bonnar Griffen fight look average. Seriously whoever voted for Griffen Bonnar has clearly not seen the Jung fight. I cant think of a more entertaining fight, ever.
Personally when i saw Bonnar vs Griffin it didn't catch my attention much, i think its vastly overrated on the entertainment value for it's significance on the MMA industry.
Garcia vs Jung was off the hook, usually i like my fights technical but that was fists flying all over, a real sight.
Yeah neither one of those guys came out of this one unscathed
