Cung Le doing MMA?

[PangQuan]

what event is this "march fight" ?

[GeneChing]

Strikeforce is this Friday (3/10/6). I'm going. Anyone else going to be there?

I can't wait to see how Cung Le does in his first MMA fight. I absolutely love to watch him do San Shou. Hopefully he can transition well. I think there are very few (if any) people who can beat him standing up in the UFC, but if he hasn't learned some advanced grappling he'll be lost.

I doubt he tries the scissor takedown. It's low percentage enough without the only advantage being that it might set you up for even more low percentage move. In all likely hood, you'll just end up in a scamble for position with a 50/50 shot of winning. If any of his signature moves come under display, it'll be the suplex, imo.

BTW, he's fighting somebody he already beat in San Shou...

[Becca]

It's not a low percenage move for Kung Le, though; it's his bread and butter. too bad it's not pay-per-veiw.

I'm told it will be broadcast somewhere, somewhen, but I don't know the details. Here's my fight rap - the short version. The Cung Le signature move was that he just kicked the crap out of Altman. Cung's kicking skill is awesome.

There are plenty of Cung threads here, but I chose this one to post this.

Cung Le to Serve a Dana White Type Role on The Ultimate Fighter: China

With news that The Ultimate Fighter: China will serve as the next international edition of the series, UFC president Dana White has revealed that UFC middleweight Cung Le will take his role on the show.

While no timeline has been revealed for the show, White is unsure whether Cung Le will appear on any episodes, but he is there to remind the fighters why they are in the house and act as a mentor.

Like all the previous seasons of the show, two fighters will coach the teams. The coaches have yet to be announced.

“TUF China is happening,” White said. “(Cung Le) is going to be the ‘me' in China. He's there to remind everyone why they're there and what's going on. He was in the office two days ago and I walked him through everything with The Ultimate Fighter and he's ready to go.”

With TUF: Australia vs. Canada currently in the tryouts stage, White also revealed that a series in Mexico is in the works, with Cain Velasquez sure to take some part in the production.
