It’s ridiculous how fast you got this up. Great work as always.
Take that Shamrock!
Complete bitch. Got what he deserved.
good fight!!
I watched the fight on the fight network here in Canada, I have to say that was great.
Both guys are entertaining, but I have to say Le impressed me. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen him fight and I like what I saw.
I read Shamrocks lips when he said I broke something, but I couldn’t tell until later that it was his arm at the end of the 3rd round. That guy must kick like a mule!
I’d like to see him fight another quality opponent again.
Congrats Cung. He’s just too talented. Thanks for posting the video.
Wow i love this site awesome work on getitng this up so soon! and WOW…… just wow.. cant wait to see post fight interview by Frank; if there is one one.
YAH BABY!!!!!!!!!
Poor shamrock… Gave up.. I only saw round 3 but.. where were the take downs.
cung should come fight in the ufc
Bout time Shamrock got what was coming to him….Owned!
Big time got beat in every way!
C-ya Shamrock!
Yo Mama: Frank Shamrock is not a complete bitch. He has walked through many fighters and has paved the way for the new mma fighters. He’s a dick, but a damn good fighter. I dare you to call him “bitch” to his face, cuz u would get your head taken off. Congrats to Cung Le, you deserve it
wow, Cung Le doesn’t have a knockout kick but i bet it hurts like crazy. Good fight
AAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHA Ohhhhhh Shamrock got tooled!
Cung Le beat on Frank so badly it broke his forearm, he threw in the towel, sent him to the hospital, and freaked out Frank’s wife so badly, she went into stress-induced early labor.
Oh, but Frank rules, though
Cung le just might be my favorite fighter
and by might i mean IS
That was an awesome fight. Go Cung !
good fight
Wow can Shamrock take a beating, Cung lee is very well rounded
It was sad to see that Shamrock was stupid enough to try and beat Le at his own game.
WTF?
Why not take him to the ground and make him a bitch. I don’t thing Cung could beat: St. Pierre, Hughes, Sera, Sanchez, Koscheck, Paresean, or a slew of others who would make him a bitch on the ground.
Shamrock deserved to lose for being stupid.
Interesting fight. I like Lee style. Looks like he uses old techniques but very effective. He is not very powerfull but the technique was so impressive.
Great fight. Thanks for posting the vedeos.
THANKS FOR PUTTING IT UP SO QUICK
WHAT A GREAT FIGHT,
amazing fight..
ultimately shammy’s ego did him in.. but he still performed greatly..
it just seems so surreal that Cung Le has beaten IMO the best fighter ever..
what’s next for Le… what’s next for Shammy..
hopefully a rematch..
great site love the videos thanks for getting them up so fast thank you very much
Thanks for getting this up so fast!
I agree with Rich S. …Shamrock got cocky and the shit was entertaining but if he took him to the ground he could have won……….he tried to beat Cung at his own game and he got what he deserved…….Rematch he will think a little more and do what he does best………you don’t mess around like that when you are the champion…..now look at you
i agree shamrocks ego got to him, thinking he could stand and bang it out with cung le
Cung is a one trick pony. All he can do is kick. If Frank would’ve swallowed his pride and stop trying to beat a great standup fighter at his own game he could’ve won. He should’ve spent more time trying to take Cung down instead of boxing him. Cung is WORTHLESS on the ground. That being said, it’s hard to consider him well rounded.
4:30 in the last video…Cung broke Franks Arm, awesome fight…Looks like Cung did the spanking…
Cung Le ROCKS!!!
great fight…..watched dis shit on showtime….ya’ll say Cung Le aint got the power and i dont understand that..i’ve watched this dude fight many times and he knocks opponents out…maybe not with one shot but for real now… who da one fallin on da way back to the corner lookin all stupid in the end…..the stronger guy?? maybe…those kicks at the end of the round really hurt Shamrock…..and dont forget the spinning backfist…anyway……i thought Cung Le took some of Frank’s best shots in da 3rd and looked like he wuz ready to be outta there but the toll that the kicks took on Shammy proved to be too much……but watch da end closely….the last two kicks left shamrock looking really dizzy and foolish…..lol. and that def finished him..dont even worry bout the arm at that point……..motherfuckin cung le…..bring on serra or any of them dudes….you seen da take down defense….if you aint seen it do your research cuz many people try to take Cung down but keep this in mind…..He has never lost in any sanctioned fight in any league or anything……….EVER…..
Rich S. and Crusher, I dont have to put in my two cents, because you two did it for me, thank you. Anyway out there calling a shamrock a bitch, or cung le the best fighter in the world.. your fucking stupid.
Cung Le would have to be the most entertaining fighter in the MMA today…power or no power his combo’s are awesome
and hit the mark. Sweep in the second round to put Shamrocks on his arse was a classic.
yep, Frank should have taken him to the ground and pounded him but of course there is the ego problem.
Crusher… Are you kidding me? Have you seen cung le pro record. He owned san shou, fighting 18 fights with out a loss. Have you seen anyone does that in MMA? Cung won six fights without loss in MMA. Frank is an expert at ground and pound and still get owned, just like ortiz vs. liddell. You think Liddell or Cung Le is easy to take down? You think they just train on their strikes or you think they also spend some time with their takedown defense?
Give a man props when props is due. Cung is the sh!t… he’s 24-0. Even my most favorite fighter Fedor still have a loss (fedor shouldn’t have bled so easy)
Tony, Sammy, and Frank all go downs, after getting kick at for 10- 15 mins. Those are strong and technical kicks.
Next time post some facts….dumbass!
awesome fight. Le totally out-classes Shamrock. Shamrocks knees are spent. He’s gotta pack it in.
You guys are forgetting Cung Le has better wrestling than Shammy. Taking it to the ground may have ended up worse for him.
dam frank put up a good fight standing up.. i thought cung was in deep trouble near the end
shamrock was well in ecline
shamrock fought le’s style fo fighting
fight could have gone either way. i think it say’s a lot about le, paper champion. beat a top ranked guy who will fight you in a mma fight. then you’ll be an elite figher.
Great fight! I predicted that Cung would win because, #1 Frank has never fought anyone that have feet flying around your face consistantly. #2, it is hard to block a kick, since it lot more powerful. #3. he blocks his face, he got kick in the stomach. he block the stomach, he got kick in the face. he was trying not to show that it was hurt, but it hurt like hell. he will feel it in the mornin.
Frank is good fighter, he is good stand up too, dont forget that. Basicly, Cung’s foot do the talking, who need hands?
good fight.
Beautiful fight.
I would love to see Cung vs Anderson Silva, that would be an amazing fight!
dude on some real shit shamrock’s gotta fix his grill dat dude looks fucked up even before someone fucks him up.
that was so fucking loose, for a title fight it doesnt say much about the technique skills of the fighters in this organization, u dont see ufc champs walkin around the ring with there hands down throwing loose wild punches. the kick trip was good quailty but why didnt he jump on top and finish him ?
frank is still dangerous. look at those punch he also rock cung with a couple of blows.BUT cung is a better stand-up fighter, a legendary striker. wrong method frank!
Props to Cung’s take down defense. Its not that Frank didn’t want to take him to the ground, he just couldn’t. A verbal submission is so apt. I wonder if this is Cung’s first win by submission.
Shamrock fought Le’s fight & couldn’t handle him in the stand-up. Le threw a ton of kicks & didn’t seem to tire at all. There must be some power to them if he busted up Shamrock’s arm. To beat Le you had better get him on the ground or move to your left & throw hard left hooks or straight right hands. Right now he is the best striker in MMA.
weren’t you listening.. the commentators remarked on the, “lack of a a.c. ligament in franks knee..” probably made him leary of the shoot and cung was a better wrestler. that’s probably what prevented frank from taking it too the ground in the closing minutes.. the broken arm is what messed up his game plan..
What I think will be understood only by real mma fight fans is that Frank’s plan was working until the arm breakage. He was giving Cung a false sense of security and Frnk landed the right hand late in the 3rd. It was looking like FRank was planning to carry the fight to the 4th or 5th before really going for the kill. Watch the Tito/Shamrock or the Horn/Shamrock fight. He did the same thing. I’m not sure if FRank will ask for a rematch though seeing he will be out of action for 6months to a year and by then his age becomes more of a factor. Fantasy fight… Shamrock age 29 vs. Cung age 27!!!!
Wow! It’s an beautiful fight! Congrats Cung Le!
Watching the fight I was wondering why Frank did not take him down and thought that he deserved the loss for being so stupid. However, as one of the commentators mentioned, his knee injury might have prevented him from being able to take him down.
I think the old Frank would have easily won. I think it is time for most of the 90s UFC guys to retire, it is getting embarrasing watching all of these guys that use to be great getting beat by mid-level fighters. I guess we will have to see this again with Coleman Lesnar.
frank just gave away the title for free
I’m hearing a lot of love for Cung Le but seriously he wouldn’t stop Dan Henderson from taking him down and he wouldn’t stop Anderson Silva from submitting him. Both these fighters are highly intelligent when it comes to matching up fighting styles.
Serves Shamrock right! He’s always cherry picked his fighhts to make himself look good! He got owned!
Cung would not pass the first round to Rich Franklin nider to the best Pound per Pound ANDERSON SPIDER SILVA.
the closest thing to bruce lee we’ll see
the one thing that EVERYONE knows about Frank is that he is a “promoter” … read: REMATCH $$$
He stood with the guy so that IN THE REMATCH he can take his title back and setup the RUBBER MATCH … more $$
Hey field negro, weren’t you watching? Frank’s arm got busted with 3 seconds left in round 3. How did that mess up his game plan? Le might be a better wrestler, but Shamrock is better at submissions. Don’t make excuses for a damaged knee.
Le impressed me i really thought that Frank would win proves me wrong.
Entertaining fight, but neither Le nor Shamrock could stand with Anderson Silva. Silva would knock both of these guys out in under 1 minute.
Impressive but Cung le obviously needs to work on his ground game… I mean he didn’t even have confidence in himself to close in on shamrock after he knocked him down. Also I think shamrock exposed his clinch in the third round… I think with a bit of training he could add some damaging knees to his already wide array of strikes.
From Vietnam I congratulate Cung Le on your win. Thanks for posting the video.
thanks for the post! everyone is saying who’s anderson silva going to fight next… well here it is baby yeahhhhh!!!!!! damn those sweeps are embarassing almost like a bitch slap
aight watch da takedown defense not just in this fight but in many other fights from cung le……dude is crazy…..and u forget to mention that he also can wrestle….he prefers to be on his feet tho so he can use them….anyway i just dont understand the hating……shamrock wuz a great champion and one of the best fighters of this era…..he fought great last night but simply wuz outclassed, outkicked, just plain beaten……I know ya’ll hear alot bout the arm but Frank fell down after the end of round three becuz of those last two kicks….watch it again if you dont believe me……anyway stop with the hate its 08, appreciate…..lol….Cung Le has still never lost…….Shamrock had neva been stopped be4 last night….not like that……
also cung got rocked bad….buckled da knees..but frank couldnt finish….if he continuted to hold onto cung le and keep presure on him…prolly woulda won da fight in round 4…..franks faught a good fight…took it to cung le in round 3…Congrats to cung le…i was there live…awsome fight!!!
First I want thank you guys for posting all these fights!!! I like Shamrock as a fighter but I don’t think he is among the top five 185 fighters, neither Cung Le. I just can’t see Cung winning against Anderson Silva.
Do you guy think that one of this two have a chance of defeating the Spider?
Wow this clearly shows the C-List talent out there. First 2 rounds there was clearly a lot of sexual tension between the 2. It was just annoying how much Shammy was smiling and wanting to high-five Le. So stupid. Plus Sham’s knee kicks were worthless.
Oh and Cung would get his anus raped by Silva. He wouldn’t have a fucking prayer.
I’ve seen Cung Le fight san shou and blow through opponents like they were amateurs in a pro game. Shamrock stood with him for all he was worth, and if he could have taken him down, don’t you think he would have, rather than absorb all those kicks? No power? How did that arm get broken in two places, requiring a plate to put it back together? Wishful thinking?
Anderson Silva/Cung Le will never happen unless Dana White and UFC change their world domination strategy and allow fighters of merit to meet, rather than controlling the contests by contractual shenanigans and legal maneuvering. Just ask Randy Couture… But I’d love to see that match, may the best man win.
Hell no anderson silva would kill both of then in the first round.
wen will u guys stop making excuses about how and why cung le won. cung le has never lost and he keeps getting better. and dont forget he even let frank pick up his mouth guard when he could of just went after him and broke his jaw or something. Most UFC guys would of finished him. all you guys hate before the fight saying Franks gon win, cause le has never fought anyone up to standard. and now that he beat the legend yall still making up excuses. so for all u haters get a life.
a rematch will happen due to the shoulder injury, wait and see. Shamrock was going to take him out in the 4th. le has alot of talent
How can anyone say that it would be a “dream” fight or a great fight for him to go against Silva. He’s on a different level. No chance whatsoever.
it wasnt challenging enuff. both guys were playing nice. this fight neede some anger and spice, some surprises and flashy moves. it was boring and too one-dimentional. neither one tried some risky moves.
i was hoping for some anger and hunger, like wolves tearing at each other. instead i saw two puppies trying each other out.
For you UFC nut-huggers, all the current ufc champs and top fighters have loss in their career. These are champs were either an average boxer, average muy thai, average boxer, or wrestler and found their niche in MMA. Cung Le is the king of san shou (never loss) and now he’s the king a MMA (never loss). Can you say that shit about anderson silva, george st. pierre, rampage, couture, and big nog? These people got their ass whip bad before.
How can you hate cung le that have 24 wins and no loss. Did Cung fight all toddlers? No… He fought all athletes that were all same size and probably train as hard as him. Maybe Cung does an extra set or run an extra mile in the gym; we don’t know. The point is… he whipped all their ass. Nothing you can say that can take away Cung Le career. You should do some research before you make some comparative argument or post negative comments about Cung.
Cung Le didn’t use any of his thrown that he famous for in any fight yet, he still have lots of trick in his sleeve.
Ken…are you saying that big nog is just average in jiu-jitsu?
frank held true to his word [ego?] and decided to keep it standing. dumb move- cost him the fight and a broken arm. but to his credit [and to my surprise], he was humble after defeat and praised cung.
for me, the fight didnt answer the most glaring question- what happens when cung’s on his back?
i’d love to see a rematch. on cbs, no less. would make for great ratings. frank should get it to the ground as quickly as possible.
ken thats the crapist thing i have ever heard of Just beacuse he has never lose does not mean he is the best it just means he has not been out match yet and if he fought Anderson Silva he would be destroyed before the end of the first round came. Six fights and this is the first well know fighter, Paulo Filho is 16 and o and he is not better then Anderson Silva.
aww, c’mon cung… don’t let your goddamn girlfriend come into the ring after the fight. good fight though. thanks for posting.
I guarantee you Ken if Cung Le joined the UFC, he would eventually get his first loss. I’m not knocking on Cung Lee, not at all. I actually like Cung Le (I’m Vietnamese myself), but i think Cung Le hasn’t faced the competition that the UFC has to offer. we haven’t seen Cung Le face the likes of Dan Henderson or Anderson Silva yet. I really do hope he joins the UFC so he can face that type of competition and then we can see how good in MMA he is.
Also a lot of UFC champions aren’t just average at anything.

jhackett44 I agree with you, Frank Shamrock was really annoying by how cocky he was. I’m really glad Cung Le won. I really hate cocky fighters like that.
dont take away credit but dont give him more than he deserves. he deserves mad credit but dont put down other fighters that he would have a good match with if not beat him..and no fighter can say thier from this organization or the other everybody started from somewhere small unknownlow budgeted and what nor and just made it to where ever thier at now becasue of the hard work they put into what they do..alot of you ppl are just plain stupid
I agree that frank should have tried more take downs, but when you opponent is Cung Le - you can’t get that close, he’ll kick you in the ribs. Franks problem was his arrogance thinking he could out kick and punch Cung, thats just not going to happen. I’ve read a lot of comments about Le’s inability to KO people, this is a HUGE misconception. Cung choose not to go for the KO, he’s a technician and a showman. His background in Sansho focus scoring points from kicks, punches, and throws - so when he enters the ring he wants to put on a show. If there is any question of the power of his kicks, ask Frank about the broken arm. Imagine if Shamrock had not been able to block those kicks, he’d be waking up from them tomorrow.
Cung Le is STILL a San Shou fighter (although the best). When he gets his black belt in BJJ he will be a force in the MMA.
mu_shin -
Neither one of these 2 would last 2 minutes with Anderson Silva. Strikes or submissions, Silva is the best pound for pound for a long long time.
Anderson Silva has lost by 3 disqualifications and the one real loss was a despiration flying scissors heal hook and silva was winnin that fight up to that point beatin the shit out of yushin okami…silva has never been dominated. Cung Le does have great throws though
…. put cung le in there with anderson silva… man you people are fools. And I would LOVE to see cung le torn to pieces by anderson. Frank is following in Ken’s footsteps, his ego fuels his fire, and his macho bullshit gets him beat.
I really don’t care what Le has done in San Shou- it doesn’t matter. Just like Hendersons wrestling accomplishments don’t matter.
Le is 6-0 in MMA- and I’m sorry Ken, but MANY fighters start out 6-0 in MMA. It’s a long list that Le is now on. Let’s see him defend the title a few times and against some more top competition.
This does not cement any legacy in MMA this is merely the FIRST step.
If you knew Cung Le record, he has never i repeat NEVER been taken down by a submission before. Frank tried to take him down from behind in the first round and he failed.
to all of you…do you know what shitokan is? it is a triathalon of martial arts where you kickbox one round, wrestle another and then do a mma style round….cung has competed in this for years and won yet he has no grappling? yah that makes sense…and sanshou(where le is the greatest of all time) is striking with takedowns and throws…watch cungs sanshou fights and then say he easily could be taken down…oh and no power in his kicks or hands?!!!!! his first 5 mma fights he was 5 and 0 with 5 kos…please do some research before you give opinions about a fighters ability…and anderson silva has 0 count them 0 kickboxing championships yet hes a better striker…and even though mma math makes no sense, just to say something interesting: cung le destroyed frank shamrock, shamrock destroyed baroni, baroni ko’d ryo chonan, and chonan submitted ANDERSON SILVA…cung makes an mma fight look like a Kung Fu movie and isnt that what deep down we all want? A champion who can do all those incredible spinning punches and kicks yet be effective unlike all the other tae kwon do or karate guys that tried flashy techniques and ended up getting embarassed in mma… Cung is great for mma and is a gentleman in and out of the ring who has the potential to be a complete LEGEND…lets just watch and see
oh and one more thing in a shidokan tournament is 1998 cung won his second fight with a foot lock…which if my math is correct means for 10 years cung has known submissions…yet all you uneducated fools question his grappling…
seriously, i dont kno how so many peeps can say that le is the king of mma.
do u know how many of the big names in mma started out with a 6-0 record?
there’s a grip. and sum are not even big names.
granted he beat frank, and u dont get bigger than that, but do u think that frank really fought like he should’ve?
plus how can u say he’s well rounded when he hasnt really proved himself on the ground?
anyway….good fight and there should be many more matchups to come between them.
frank should’ve fought more instead of doin all that smiling, pussy-footin shit.
its funny how fighters always gotta feel like they gotta stand up with someone to prove how good they are…nobody ever challenges or tries to go to the ground to prove it that way.
Buck -
This is MMA. He will be taken down and when he does, it ain’t gonna be pretty.
Right now EliteXC is spoon feeding Cung Le because he has such a huge following and they want to capitalize on that. He’ll be tested eventually though. They can’t continue to baby this guy. At some point he’ll have to take on a top 5 or top 10 fighter.
Don’t get me wrong. His stand-up is extraordinary. Not only the laser targeted kicks but his hands and ability to avoid close combat is what makes this guy a world champion.
The great thing for us is that he always puts on a show.
Who will Cung go up agaisnt now ? KALA KOLOHE HOSE ? Who is there in EliteXC to match him with ?
LMAO THAT KEN GUY SAID CUNG LE IS THE KING OF MMA. LMAO wow buddy your retarded. im a cung le fan.. and i hate shamcock..
every fighter loses eventually.. cung le is great.. but he wouldnt last with silva…. shamrock really isnt that great of a fighter.. franklin/okami and silva would all wreck him.. id like to see cung li vs franklin or okami.. hes not ready for silva yet..
people are dumb. judging fighters are there past losses is dumb as hell.. who cares if silva lost to chonan by some crazy flying knee bar.. doesnt mean shit.. in current day.. cause in current day.. silva has beaten all his UFC oponnets with before the 3rd round.. hes finished them all!! franklin twice.. henderson lutter, leben.. all destroyed.. cung li vs silva would be good.. cung li is a good fight matched up against anyon
this site rocks! Thanks for the video, I missed the damn fight.
I love UFC. they have the most fan, the most money, therefore they have the best fighters.
But I don’t see why you fools doubting Cung Le. Did I say Cung Le can beat the shit out of top UFC fighters? No… but I would love to see, Cung always put on a show.
I just don’t like the fact that people post negative comments about Cung. These are the same people that post negative comments about Anderson Silva when he whipped Franklin for the first time.
Cung Le is undefeated champ. He dominated San Shou almost a decade, that is all I will say.
FelixWu… Can you name a current champs that dominated a previous sport for more than five years? Don’t give me some bullshit that the guy won some tournament over a weekend.
cung le has killed the MAN to become the MAN…..
how can you say fighting frank shamrock is being spoonfed???? Who else is better in elite at 185??wait let me answer that for you nobody
Love all these Cung bandwagoners. Cung Le is an extremely talented striker, but something just wasn’t right with this fight. Frank just wasn’t trying, he had several instances to capitalize on either landing a big shot or taking Le down. I think if Shamrock really wanted this fight he would’ve taken a lot more chances in landing some big strikes or takedowns and it would’ve made this fight more enjoyable to watch.
it’s good to see Cung Le can fight as well in MMA as he did in K-1. He was a beast there and it looks to have transfered over.
that was an excellent fight! nobody shouldn’t be talking crap about both fighters because for one,…frank is a legend in the mma sport and well rounded, second cung le is a true MARTIAL ARTIST! if anyone know’s what that means!!!if you guys ever watched all cung le’s fights in k-1 and shan shou, then you’ll know what i’m talking about! the only mma fighter who really uses his martial art skills to fight! but the next challenge for him is the ground game…that’s if the opponent can take him down!!!!!!!
Kickyourheadoff
The best u can come up with is Shamrock wasn’t trying? Pathetic…
well, if you are a fan of someone, and they happened to get beat, that will take atleast two weeks to recovered. In the mean time, I forgive you for saying, Silva will beat Cung before the round one is over. Two weeks from now, come back and try again, and if you still have the same way of looking at things, you need to goto hospital and get your head check. Cause you are seriously insured by the defeated syndrom of your fighter. It is OKAY. Silva can BE beat by any fighers, including Frank. like Cung Said, ‘it is my night!’ just remembered those words from great fighter himself. ‘I kick through him, because I wanted to win.’
Before the fight, you ppl said Shamrock gonna destroy Le. Now after the fact, you said Shamrock is OLD, not a top fighter, and didn’t try his takedown. WTF! Why do you feel like putting bad comments about Le and now Shamrock? Shamrock is a great fighter and a great guy. Do you hate Le that bad to put both fighters down?
Now you claiming Silva gonna beat Le. For betting point of view, Le would be underdog vs. Silva. Just like he was underdog vs. Shamrock. That’s why I had $300 on Le vs. Shamrock. Now he beat Shamrock, I have $500 in my pocket and you have your foot in your mouth. So don’t try to post anything that didn’t happen.
Who is dumb enough to lie on his back to get slaughtered by the opponent??? You??? Me??? Hell no!!! They laid on their backs because they couldn’t stand. The reason Cung Le has never gotten down on his back is because he has developed some awesome escape techniques. How many fighters could escape Shamrock’s grip like Cung did? Of course, as a fighter, you would hope that your escape techniques never fail. But yeah, you would avoid falling on your back at all cost!!!!
After watching silva fights with different opponents when he got OWNED by two ASIAN fighters who did NOT show the aggressively precise moves like Cung Le, I am sure that a match with Cung Le WILL definitely destroy silva whose losers like frank and others were fighting like girls (no deadly accurate kicks and strikes). I WILL put money on Cung Le instead of silva who is just a jj copycat from Asian fighters.
Well I have been a fan of cungs for awhile. Ever since my bro showed me him I was like thats the bruce lee of MMA and I can tell when someone is exceptional seeing as I am aslo a fighter. I knew cung would win hes not a showmen he gets things done like a real fighter. He doesnt show off just handles business. Shamy there was having to much fun but when he started feeling the pain and power of cung he had to get serious but it was 2 late. I myself am from cali and cali is taking over mma a lot of the great fighters today in mma are all coming from cali kind of like urijah faber…I can even admit he would drop me like a bad habit. I love my cali fights. grats to cung hes the man.
Bruce Lee once said “what ever you learn is your, doesn’t matter where it comes from.” or something like that… Copycat? We are all copycat.
I definitely have my money on Cung Le; he’s still underrated. I guess MMA world still couldn’t believe a phenomenon. Even the commentator interview cung after the fight, he said Cung’s style would be frustrating matching up with his. Cung brought striking like Royce Gracie brought grappling to MMA, and Bruce Lee brought it on big screens. I guess in five years I hope to see majority top fighters have sanshou in their martial art background.
cung li maximo
Cung Le used to fight K1, he has a speacial take down, but i forgot what it is called… the sha don sweep or something?
liggy:you are a complete idiot.why in the hell would u say that cung le is worthless.are u sure u were watching the fight?and the reason he did not try to take down cung is because franck already knows that its almost imposible to take cung le down to the ground…
what a bunch of idiots!!!! that was an interesting fight, If any of you had ever really been in a fight you would know that anything could happen it just takes one punch to look like a bitch, and anyways all that laying on each other bullshit is for faggots a real fighter knows that jujitsu, hey its good to know but its really for bitches that dont like to get hit in the face. The best defense agianst the take down is punch that fool in the face.
P.S. I’m 38-7 street,16-0 ameture boxing, and undefeated in
5 mma fights
nuh uh! yuh huh! no way, man! yes way! bitch! no you’re the bitch! no way man! ju jitsu! no way man, MMA! no way bitch! puching and kicking! nuh uh! yuh huh! frank! cung! frank! cung! le! shamrock! silva! tito! bitch! no way man! faggot! fool! you don’t know anything! do your important, compelling, LIFE ALTERING research before you…leave…some…comment…on…some….site…for a bunch of…strangers…NO WAY MAN!
for all those saying that cung has no ground game, i wouldn’t say that. i would say it’s unproven. no one has tested him yet. i agree frank’s ego got in his way in trying to stand toe to toe against cung, but until someone actually takes cung down and beats him on the ground, you can’t say shit.
watching it again. it looks like frank got his wrist broken with 9 seconds left in the 3rd. you see him back up as soon as he blocks that kick from cung. what’s amazing is in the last flurry he throws a right. i bet that shit hurt if his wrist was already broke!
anyways, i look forward to cung’s next fight!
I think Frank would own this fight, only reason Le won was because it never went to the ground. Frank held his own for 3 rounds still trying to prove his point, he had a couple of instances where he could’ve taken down Le and finish it but never did. Oh well, Frank’s still the best!
yea frank was to nice he shouldnt try new things he shoulda just submited cung lee but still a good match just got lucky i no thier gona rematch man these 2 go way back good to see them fighting together for the belt but frank needs to stop tryin to dominate every aspect and just stick to his ground game on oppenants like cung they no each other to well
have u guys ever been in a real fight?quit talking crap!!! cung is a bad ass sob.not saying that franck is not good enough,but the legend got his face kicked in!!!
p.s it wont be long till someone appears and beats up cung just as bad.thats the way it goes,there is always someone better than you
Frank didnt get his ass kicked in any way! Nor did he got owned…
The fight was even the first 3 rounds where Frank didnt even try to get Chung to the ground, which I think he would have if he not broke his arm.
And yeah it was doctor stoppage so he didnt quit. I would like to see a rematch.
The truth is we really don’t know if Cung Le is well rounded or not because we have yet to see him on the ground. The problem is, no one can ever seem to get him on the ground and who knows, we may never see it, haha. But I congratulate both men in a great fight. I’m pretty sure there will be a rematch. I can’t wait to see it!
Wow you guys are nubs. “well rounded”? “complete fighter”? Can you people honestly be this ignorant?
Stupid Frank didnt take him down to prove a point. But the fool wasnt able to prove his point. Ego lost him that fight. On the ground, Frank would have easily submitted him in seconds. What a complete fool to stand up with Cung.
Rematch! Frank will win, via submission.
..duh.
