A little more than five years ago, then-UFC hopefuls Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar contested one of the most entertaining bouts in the organization's history at the first-ever The Ultimate Fighter Finale – the night the UFC first aired live on Spike TV.

This past Saturday night, Leonard Garcia and Chan Sung Jung engaged in an equally rousing affair while placed in a similar position: the featherweight contest aired on Spike TV and served as the lead in for "Aldo vs. Faber," the WEC's first-ever pay-per-view event.

Following the event, UFC president Dana White expressed his gratitude for the performance and said he wouldn't mind letting "Bad Boy" and "The Korean Zombie" do it again.

"Everything lined up for us," White told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "Those guys came out and performed. You couldn't have picked a better fight to lead right into the pay-per-view.

"These guys are definitely the Griffin and Bonnar of the lighter weight divisions. No doubt. It was awesome. ... I think people would love to see a rematch."

I didn't think he was robbed, but I certainly saw why some would give the fight to Bonnar. The comparisons are there. It was an all out brawl from bell to bell, both guys fought hard, close fight.
