To this day you canโt convince me Garcia won this fight. Atleast zombie got his vindication in the rematch
and in very flashy style!
They split the 1st 2 rounds. The 3rd round was close. I had them even at 25 strikes, but KZ was walking LG down and had LG in trouble with some hard strikes along the cage, so I think KZ edged out the 3rd.
Still, watching this again, that 3rd round was close. Regardless, this fight made KZ a fan favorite, and Zombie's evolution after this fight only helped.
True!
word!
I'm glad this is the top comment xD
Shout out to the intern that posted this. Such a slept on fight when the greatest fights of all time are mentioned.
ZOMBIE GOT ROBBED.....KOREAN BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF MEXICAN!
@@brucehur2051 his name is Garcia not Mexican ffs.
@@moo3992 he also referred to the other guy as korean. though that's not exactly a good way to refer to either person
@@youngsuit true. But The Zombie has the name "Korean" in his nickname doesn't he?
@@moo3992 yeah but that doesn't really invalidate that it was consistent. perhaps consistently ignorant way to write it but it was consistent
This was my first introduction to KZ back in the day and man did he make an impression. Long live WEC!
korean zombie got robbed....he beat the shit out of that mexican!
yeah me too and to this day hes my favorite.
KZ got robbed but still one of the most incredible fights of all time.
He has no technique at all just throwing and kicking needs to learn patience maybe his worthless career will get somewhere then.

I was 9 years old when I first watched this fight. I remember going crazy with my dad seeing these 2 go to war. From that day on I kept up with all the other mma fights that I could with my dad. This fight made me a die hard MMA fan. Iโm grateful for both these guys always.
Sure you did buddy
Enjoy your time with yoir father buddy. Mine is 75, i watched UFC 1 in 1993 with Royce Gracie and Shamrock. I was 11. Now he still watches em if theyre early. If not he still asks. Haha.
@@filthydan6159 real edgy inbred
I remember being 15 seeing this I was already a die hard fan but this made me ALWAYS put respect on the lighter weight fighters.
it's a so respectful comment.
i will send this comment to the zombie.
thanks.
This was and still is one of the best fights I've seen!
you should go watch eddie alvarez vs michael chandler. i honestly dont understand why ppl don't talk about that fight to this day. michael chandler's been fighting the same way his whole career and it seems like people are now starting to see him as a super star in the sport
@@josephkwon3904 because itโs not under the ufc. Less publicity
Still one of best all out brawls you'll ever see in MMA.

Legendary throwback fight. Their 2nd fight in the UFC was just as good
twister?
I swore to God that's what this fight was and trying to be like Joe Rogan (Mr. Know-it-all) bet my wife $50 that Garcia was going to lose by a difficult submission. Now she thinks she freaking Amanda "Lioness" Nunez and I'm CM Punk.

One good jab from a trained boxer will make him fall all the way back.

@@sameerjones4729 ur tears are literally flooding the comment section plz stop talking to EVERYONE
Zombies don't have hearts, they eat them.
Still remember jumping up and down in my living room and screaming and not being able to wrap my mind around the fact that this was a free fight ๐ hands down one of the greatest fights I've ever seen
Although this match was lost, it was the most shocking KZ debut we remember.
In the third round with Holloway, KZ seemed to want to finish with the KZ we're most excited about.
KZ is UFC history and a legend.
15:33 that combo was just.. there are no words for that combo. Just watch it.
The โFight of the Decadeโ and made me a life long fan of TKZ ๐ฐ๐ท๐งโโ๏ธ!
TKZ has come a long way. He still has the brawl in him, but he's a much more disciplined fighter now.
100%!! Much cleaner striking as well. Not so much "wasted" movements.
Iโd say heโs the 2nd most technical FTW after Volk. Iโd take him over Ortega and Yair in rematches
@@clarkdark2906 Ortega very likely has his number, and Yair has only gotten better since their last encounter (Yair made Max shoot takedowns on him).
@@madgavin7568 Zombie looked off against Ortega but looked very good in his last fight. I think Zombie would get the better of Yair on the mat tho while Yair has a slight edge on the feet. I could even see Ortega and Zombie beating Max possibly. With Zombie I feel heโs a bad matchup for Max but with Ortega itโs kind of like Max has every advantage and should win but if Ortega gets the neck itโs over. For some reason if Ortega vs Yair happens Iโve got Yair by devastating flying knee KO considering Ortegaโs sloppy wrestling and how much damage heโs taken.
@@clarkdark2906 He 'looked off' against Ortega because he wasn't giving Zombie any looks on the feet. I don't like this 'so and so looked off' excuse because Ortega was technically superior to Zombie, who allowed Ortega to just work him because styles make fights. Also after Ortega landed the spinning elbow, Zombie himself admitted he was on auto-pilot for the remainder of the fight. Instead of making excuses for the fan favourite, start praising Ortega for his technical brilliance that fight.
One of the greatest promotional debuts in MMA history. Zombie came in a complete unknown and created a fight of the year with Garcia. A laughable but intriguing nickname literally came to life and resonated into the concious of everyone who witnessed. Iconic moments, but that 17 piece combo in the second round was amazing.
you're never going to work for bloody elbow, bro

I've been a fan of both fighters, Leonard long before this and Zombie following this fight. I have watched every fight they have ever had since and they never fail to put on a show. I hope to see both these guys in the hall someday, they both deserve it just for their two fights alone.

Always on my top 10 fights of all time. A crazy display of raw fighting emotion. I love it.
Zombie still at the top of the game.
korean zombie got robbed....he beat the shit out of that mexican!
This fight made me realize the MMA was deeper than just the UFC. This card was absolutely stacked as well. A lot of people at the top of this card went on to strong UFC careers.
Only the LW division existed in both UFC and WEC. For the rest the WEC was the deepest in MMA
Watching this one back again after TKZs retirement fight, he was such a legend, his fights with poirier and Yair ajd of course the finishes over Hominick, Garcia, Moicano, Edgar, and many others come to mind but this is the beginning (UFC/WEC speaking) of the legend, he is one of the few who's legacy is there with or without the belt
One of my all time favorite fights. The Mexican Vs Korean rivalry is underrated.
What Mexican and Korean rivalry
@@GalactusOG hot headed
our cultures tend to get along really well... very similar in many ways.
@@jasonum9267 Nosotros Papaya
God bless whoever been approving these throwback fights.
Now someone get TKZ a rematch with Yair!!!
Great idea.
Watched this fight with my cousins over the weekend it happened and yeah this is the fight that got me absolutely in love with MMA. God bless these warriors.
I remember being at a friends house watching this fight live, it was insane.
One of the best but also poorly judged fights. Tkz all the way trough. You could maybe argue that round 2 went to garcia but he missed almost everything he threw. One of the greatest fights ever.
Thatโs wrong. Garcia won all other rounds. Stop being biased.
@@Helljumper7200youโre clearly the biased one lol
That exchange @1:00 remains one of the most insane things Iโve seen
Bro itโs 2023 now and wow Iโll never forget this fight. Made me the fan I am! Best fight ever. Shouts out zombie for just retiring last weekend. Garcia donโt get enough credit as well. Banger ๐ฅ๐ค
Top 10 most exciting fights ever. Up there with Mauriocio Rua vs Hendo and Sanches vs Guida
Only exciting for someone who knows nothing about fighting. I've been boxing since I was 12 in 19 now and I think i could beat both of these dudes pretty easily one left hook to the body will lay them down
@@sameerjones4729 sit down kid
I pretty sure this Sameer Jones guy fav boxer are Jake & Logan Paul ๐คฆ
@@AkbarNurPribadi he probably thinks that Logan is the GOAT
@@sameerjones4729 your fighter name should be Shit "Sameer" Jones
When Leonard Garcia is fighting you know you are in for a show. He always brings the best out of his opponents and that's why his fights are always exciting.
This is the greatest fight of wecโs history if you couldnโt tell.
Great to see this incredible fight. KZ definitely dominated that fight and should have won. But it was all heart and guts by both of them.
You didnโt see the fight. Garcia won all other rounds. Stop being biased.

@kennymccormick9292 at least TKZ went out with a bang ๐ฅฒ
He did like this time๐ข
I could see this KZ last 20 second
I don't think this is by any means one of the best fights in terms of displays of skill in MMA, however it's by far one of the most entertaining I've seen.
All time best fight ever! We will never forget this fight !
Zombie got robbed .. Best fight ๐ฅ๐ฅ

Absolute banger. One of my favorite fights of all time
Obviously, the skill level is low by MMA standards right now.
But that alone is never enough to judge this match.
The courtesy towards each other after the final bell rang was also perfect.
In my opinion, this match is one of the most perfect and beautiful matches in history !
TKZ went out exactly like he did in this fight. Legend.

Zombie is such a fun fighter to watch. He was robbed on this one. He did the most damage and landed the best shots
Yeah, the number of times he was able to tee-off entire combos on Garcia's face made it an obvious victory for KZ.

Yesterday KZ retired.
You gave us so much excitement and joy with your career.
Good bye our legend.๐ฅฒ
heres hoping ufc releases more throwbacks for these know it all new fans from the past 5-6 years
Epic. Contender for fight of the century- I remember where I was when I watched this PPV classic. *God I miss Leonard Garcia-* love that guy, my all-time favorite brawler. Will Korea ever produce another Zombie? Shame there had to be a loser in this one. Hope retirement treats both warriors well. The WEC was the "IT" promotion for me- started my addiction.
There is no way Garcia wins that fight ๐คทโโ๏ธ Clown judges.
wtf this rigged afff
Garcia has so many bs wins
It's arguable he could've won the 2nd and 3rd rounds. 1st clearly went to KZ and 3rd to Garcia, I think the 2nd round should been a draw. I've never thought that in any other fight.
@@sukhdevr3489 It seemed clear that Garcia won the second. Scored the only knockdown.

Esta pelea en verdad es una de las mejores que he visto.
this is the greatest 3 rd fight of all time. i know, because ive seen every televised mma match since 93. period.
Holy sheet, what a fight? T'was really crazy !
I saw this live on TV when it happened. The wec Pay-Per-View was my birthday present from my mother. This is the first MMA fight she ever saw. Talk about an introduction to the sport LOL
What great luck that it turned out to be this very fight.
Looks like it turned out to be a great bday present lol
This was a straight up tough man contest
Legendary. Very reminiscent of the Forrest Bonner as well as the Steve Bosse Sean OโConnell fights. Similar styles, but also the context of a fight you really want to prove yourself in. Also so many great lines from Rogan. This broadcast should be in the Library of Congress Archives.

One of the best fights of all time....all time.
This is such a great fight, but I have trouble going back and watching it because of the decision, put a taint on the whole thing for me. Glad KZ was able to get this one back in the sequel.

Outstanding! My kind of fighters. Love the Zombie's style.
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE FIGHT!!! THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS!!!
what a fight! This fight is literally legend
There are so many great fights that at this point it is impossible to really say any fight was the "best fight"
best fight I've seen in a while
WEC put on so many classics.
Legend!
Love this fight! Thank you!
They are man of steel. Hats off to both fighters ๐๐
One of the greatest fight in WEC History
I believe this was the first UFC card after the WEC buyout.
que buena pelea..... APLAUSOS PARA ESTOS GUERREROS
To this day the Korean Zombie has not been able to get his drivers license. He simply wouldn't back up or take turns and only go forward.
excellent interpretation.
I thought this was going to be an Asian driver joke.
