LOL they were all asians... hey cung waht about Otsuka, Sakurai and Kato? LOL

It would be a good fight. Hope it happens...; August 5, 2008 12:40 PM

Anonymous said...: yea i love cung le, and I wish he had knock out power -

but he doesn't!

he would also be afraid to jump in on silva - he's just not aggressive enough.

One day, hopefully soon, cung Le will develop the strength and be at the top with silva, BJ and the genius SJP.; August 5, 2008 1:57 PM

I think he's got a chance... San Shou is so different than what the MMA guys are doing for the most part. You just don't see MMA guys throwing a lot of side kicks. Or looking to trap kicks(Silva did in his last fight to great effect). Cung talks about Rampage in the video.. Rampage would have destroyed Forrest if he'd taken two lessons from Cung and learned to catch that sloppy high kick and sloppy front kick that Forrest throws.

Anyway, yeah, Cung does lack KO power, but he seldom throws a kick intended for a KO. His common weapon, the side kick, acts more like a jab. It won't KO someone, but like a boxer working the body, it will take the air out of an opponent and fatigue them for later rounds. The round kick he throws is different from muay thai, it's from a wider base, and is built for speed, rather than putting your whole hip into it and kicking through a tree.

Can he beat Silva?? I don't know about that... Silva is so fast, so strong, and so good at jujitsu.

But, styles make fights, and I'd love to see this fight.; August 5, 2008 3:03 PM

Anyways, i have a request. Are you able to post the season 2 of, Tapout??? I know it just started, i love that show. The TapOut boys know their MMA!

Thanks a million! MMASCRAPS rules.; August 5, 2008 3:58 PM
essential said...: Cung Le is a great fighter, Frank Shamrock is really no sloutch; but Anderson Silva is as good as it gets. I just watched the Irvin fight 3 times again and am convinced that he is totally fucking dangerous and I don't see ANYONE coming even close except for:
George St.Pierre
BJ Penn
Lyoto Machida
Fedor
Josh Barnett
Nogeuria
Cung Le has the skills to shock the world considering the obvious unpredictability the ring offers. Let us hope it happens!; August 6, 2008 2:26 AM
