Tuesday’s UFC on Fuel 3 main event between Dustin Poirier and “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung was an easy front runner for 2012′s Fight of the Year, but odds are most of the UFC’s fanbase didn’t see the fight.
The furiously paced action of the featherweight bout saw Jung showcasing every aspect of his MMA game against a tough to finish Poirier. After three rounds at that pace, he then finished the fight with a D’Arce choke after knocking Poirier down with a flying knee.
For those that missed the event on Tuesday night, FoxSports.com posted some highlights from the fight. Check it out below:

Tuesday night’s UFC on FUEL TV 3 card provided a “Fight of the Year” candidate in Chan Sung Jung vs. Dustin Poirier, but there were also a few less honorable moments on display.
From a handful of questionable judges calls to a referee’s ill-timed approach at monitoring a fighter’s consciousness, UFC on FUEL TV 3 did not feature flawless work from the officials in charge.
Veteran manager Alex Davis said he has seen it all before. And while generic griping has become commonplace in the MMA community, Davis believes more specific discussions are needed.

In early April I got the call…
Jason MacDonald isn’t retiring.
Despite his quick knockout loss to Tom Lawlor at Tuesday’s UFC on FUEL TV 3 event, the 36-year-old Canadian middleweight isn’t calling it quits.
“To set record straight … [MacDonald] never said he’s retiring,” officials stated via the UFC Canada Twitter account. “Tough break last night. Hope to see him back soon.”
The New York Rangers and Washington Capitals have been dishing out damage to each other on the ice for years.

With Nate Diaz waiting for a title shot, who should the UFC book against Anthony Pettis when he returns?
RICH HANSEN, MMATORCH COLUMNIST
Since they are going through with Henderson vs. Edgar, how about Pettis vs. Eddie Alvarez?
Simple attrition rules out a lot of fighters. Pettis isn’t getting Henderson, Diaz, or Edgar next. The UFC is highly unlikely to put Gray Maynard in a #1 contender fight if he beats Clay Guida, because the last thing they want is for Maynard to be within 42 miles of being a PPV headliner. If Guida wins, they aren’t going to book Pettis vs. Guida again. In both cases, they don’t want Pettis vs. a wrestler, because there has to be a fear of Pettis getting off of his back. Jim Miller is coming off of a loss. Donald Cerrone is coming off of a loss. Jacob Volkmann, Mark Bocek, and Gleison Tibau have less name recognition than Jadamba Narantungalag, and less appeal than Brad Walker in a Chippendale’s review (Patrick Swayze he aint).
So who’s left? Eddie F***ing Alvarez, that’s who. Even without making the case FOR Alvarez, he’s the best possible option for Pettis. Alvarez is free sometime in September, which means he conceivably could fight in the UFC as soon as October. Sergio Pettis told MMATorch, and by “MMATorch” I mean he told ME (cheap plug, lots of humility) that Anthony was looking at October or November for a return. The last thing anyone should want to see is for Pettis to return to action before he’s ready to return. So put him in the cage in November against Eddie Alvarez.
As for the fight itself, if I have to sell the merits of Eddie F***ing Alvarez vs. Anthony Pettis, God help us all.
FRANK HYDEN, MMATORCH CONTRIBUTOR
I’d have Pettis fight Donald Cerrone if Cerrone beats Jeremy Stephens on May 15 at UFC on Fuel TV: Korean Zombie vs. Poirier. An alternative would be to have him fight Gray Maynard if Maynard beats Clay Guida at UFC on FX 4 on June 22.
BRAD WALKER, MMATORCH COLUMNIST
Pettis needs to step into Strikeforce and fight Gilbert Melendez, if that fight can’t happen there are not a whole lot of challenging fights out there for him. Unless he wants to call out B.J. Penn or try to add another loss to Jim Miller’s record. The top end of the division is pretty much booked solid, and unless Eddie Alvarez makes his way to the Octagon there are very few fights that make sense for Pettis outside of the top trio of Henderson, Edgar and Diaz.
ANWAR PEREZ, MMATORCH COLUMNIST
With a returning Anthony Pettis, who wouldn’t mind seeing a returning BJ Penn to the division? The UFC were trying to convince Penn to possibly fight Gilbert Melendez, but a fight against Pettis would be just as intriguing. It’d be a great test for Pettis and more importantly, a win would solidify a title shot in the lightweight division.
ERIC HOBAUGH, MMATORCH CONTRIBUTOR
I think the UFC should book Anthony Pettis against the winner of Clay Guida vs. Gray Maynard fight. I am convinced Maynard will win big against Guida, so that sets up a great fight. This will tell us if Pettis is ready for his title shot. This is also one of the most exciting fights out there in the lightweight division.
DAN MOORE, MMATORCH UK CONTRIBUTOR
I’d love to see him face Edson Barboza, so if the Brazilian beats Jamie Varner later this month, get that fight booked little Joe Silva. The other alternative would be Donald Cerrone if he gets past Jeremy Stephens next week. Again that would be a fun fight with plenty of fireworks, even if Cerrone is coming off a big loss to Nate Diaz. Whatever the UFC decides though, please don’t let it be Mark Bocek. That fight would be a little like asking Vincent van Gogh to produce a magical piece of art, with only worn out coloring pens, and the back of a cigarette packet to do it.
JASON AMADI, MMATORCH COLUMNIST
Assuming Sean Sherk is still alive (which I don’t think any fight fan in the world can confirm at this point) I think he’s a big enough name and has the skills set to really legitimize Pettis as a lightweight contender.
If Pettis gets by a wrestler that caliber of Sean Sherk, perhaps that would appease all the whiners who call for everyone to “beat a wrestler” before getting a title shot (even in spite the fact that Pettis has already defeated several).
