UFC Denver in Tweets: Pros react to Yair Rodriguez vs. Korean Zombie, Donald Cerrone vs. Mike Perry

Yair Rodriguez vs. Chan Sung Jung was already a Fight of the Year candidate. Then, with one second left on the clock, it became a Knockout of the Year candidate too.

In one of the most stunning moments in UFC history, Rodriguez pulled off an all-time great comeback by knocking out “The Korean Zombie” with a backward upward elbow at 4:59 of the fifth round in the thrilling main event of UFC Denver. At the time of Rodriguez’s knockout, Jung was up on two of the three judges’ scorecards and was literally one second away from winning the fight.
