You are looking at one of the best fighters to ever walk this earth. In a close fight, Cung Le wins the StrikeForce Middleweight Championship over Frank Shamrock, another MMA legend.
In only his 6th MMA bout, Cung Le devastates Shamrock with many powerful roundhouse kicks that literally broke the former champion.
Pound-for-pound, Cung Le has to be considered one of the top fighters ever in the history of fighting. A proven striker, Cung has smoothly transitioned himself as a truly legitimate MMA superstar.
Last Saturday night's fight was actually very close... Shamrock did have a decent game plan and landed several vicious punches to Cung's face, but somehow Cung absorbed those blows and landed several knock-out blows himself in a flurrly at the end of round 3. There was no round 4 as Shamrock could not answer the bell - TKO.
There is a good possibility for a re-match. In Shamrock's defense, it would have been a much closer contest if he chose to take the match to the ground where Shamrock has the advantage... which is what he might do if there is a re-match. However, if you watch Le's other bouts, he has very good takedown defense a la Chuck Liddell.
