Up to this juncture, this list bears no definite order; but make no mistake, this is the rarest documented submission in the history of MMA. The Korean Zombie is always a draw and has more than a handful of awards as testament “Fight of the year”, “Knockout of the night”, “Fastest (tied) knockout in UFC history”, etc.

But his “Submission of the year 2011” will possibly be awarded a spot of its own, unique from the rest of the trophies. It is the only Twister in the history of the UFC, and we daresay, MMA.

After losing a split decision to Leonard Garcia in the WEC, which many believed unjust, Jung stepped in as a late replacement for Nam Phan to rematch Garcia in the UFC.

After the momentous win, Jung was asked how he contrived such a manoeuvre and he replied sheepishly that he learnt it from watching Youtube videos of BBJ maverick Eddie Bravo.
