Cung Lee

On Saturday, March 29, Cung Le will be in the fight of his mixed martial arts (MMA) life when he takes on legendary middleweight fighter and current Strikeforce Middleweight Champion, Frank Shamrock, in front of a sellout crowd at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif,. for Strikeforce: “Shamrock vs. Cung Le.”

Le is undefeated (5-0) in MMA, with all five wins coming in the Strikeforce cage. He realizes that this will be one of the biggest fights of his career up to this point.

“It’s a big step up for me, but I like the challenge, I’m looking forward to it,” Le told MMAMania.com.

The two will be going at it for the Strikeforce Middleweight championship, which Shamrock won last June when he defeated Phil Baroni at a Strikeforce event. Le, who will be 35 in May, knows that he has an excellent opportunity to win the Strikeforce Middleweight title and is very excited for the shot, which will come two years after making his debut in MMA.

“My first MMA fight was in March 2006. I’m two years into it and now I’m fighting for a title. That means a lot to me,” Le said. “It’s a great opportunity and I’m looking forward to March 29th.”

Both fighters will get to square off in San Jose, where both fighters live. Le is thrilled about the chance to fight for the Strikeforce title in San Jose, but also knows that it will be a hometown fight for Shamrock as well.

“It’s always special when I fight in front of the hometown crowd, but it’s Frank’s hometown crowd as well,” Le said. “When the smoke clears, we’ll see who’s the one standing.”

Le is a former San Shou fighter, compiling a 17-0 record as a San Shou fighter with 12 knockouts. He believes his style can give him an advantage in the fight.

“I believe my style gives me a lot of advantages because there’s a lot of kicks and strikes combinations that Frank as an MMA fighter is not use to,” Le said.

Le use to be a training partner with Shamrock a long time ago. And he thinks it will be more of a factor for Shamrock than himself. Regardless, Le knows he needs to be on the top of his game if he wants to leave the HP Pavilion next Saturday night as the Strikeforce 185-pound champion.

“I gotta fight smart, don’t rush anything and realize that there’s plenty of time to get things done,” Le said.

Le has had to prepare a little differently for Shamrock because of how great a fighter he is. He has been working with former kickboxing coach for Shamrock, Javier Mendez.

“My whole training camp is just preparing for what Frank will do, what he might do,what his plan A, plan B, plan C, plan D would be,” Le said. “So, we have to prepare for all of his gameplans and just be ready.”

In Le’s first five fights he has recorded one knockout and four technical knockouts. His last fight was at Strikeforce: Four Men Enter, One Man Survives, in November. Le defeated Sam Morgan via technical knockout after a liver kick forced Morgan to stop.

Le makes it a point not to predict what might happen in the fight.

“I don’t predict any knockouts, I don’t predict how a fight will end, but I predict that it will be a classic fight,” Le said.

This will be Le’s second on his six-fight contract with Strikeforce. Le is content with being in Strikeforce and his main focus at this point will be on Shamrock.

“I really don’t think about anything else except Frank Shamrock,” Le said.

Le is happy with where he’s at right now and looks forward to walking into the Strikeforce cage in the HP Pavilion and fighting Frank Shamrock.

“I’m happy to be alive, I’m happy to wake up this morning, I’m happy to be apart of this event and I hope everybody tunes in to watch because there’s going to be fireworks,” Le said.

For anyone who hasn’t sen Le fight it’s awesome. It’s like watching a martial arts movie scene, except it’s real and he’s beating the crap out of other real fighters. I shan’t be missing this.

I really hope to see Cung Le kick Franks head off! Le is right, his unorthadox style should give Shamrock some problems. Le throws kicks that aren’t used in mma, and thats very hard for Frank to prepare for. Le can deliver a nasty kick, from all kinds of ackward angles with a lot of force.

If Le can keep the fight standing than he has a great chance of winning. It will all come down to if Cung can keep trhe fight standing, and if it does go to the ground, will Cung be able to defend the submission.

Should be a great fight, but knowing Shamrock, it could be a flop!

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!!11

***CroCop to fight Sergei Kharitonov in June***
http://www.index.hr/sport/clanak/cro…se/378537.aspx

The article is in Croatian and I will summerize it. Article states that CC was supposed to fight Sergei at Dream 1 but CC declined the fight stating that would be too tough of a match for him after a six month break. Now they moved the fight to Dream 4 which will take place in mid-june and it will apparantly be made official in about a month possibly on April 29th which is Dream 2. That is when Dream is supposed to announce the fight. In one of Mirko’s quotes he said ” I am not approaching these fights in Dream as practice for UFC comeback instead I am treating every fight seriously.”

I think CC vs. Sergei would be a great fight. Sergei is without a doubt one of the top heavyweights in the world. I have always wanted to see this fight. Cro Cop is going to get his ass kicked by Sergei!

I have to confess, I like Cung Le, the guy is a breath of fresh air.

I’m rooting for Le on this one too.

I can only imagine how a fight with GSP might transpire, which I think would be an even bigger war than Silva.

I gotta go frank on this one. Mainly due to experience. I think shamrock will catch him and if he doesnt catch him, he will get him to the ground and sub him.

Shamrock, r3, rear naked choke.

I like Shamrock….but this fight will make Le a name on the MMA scene, everyone thinks he is just hype….but he will outpoint Shamrock to a decision

All Shamrock will be able to do against Le is lay n pray….I don’t think Shamrock can sub Le, and I don’t think Le can KO Shamrock….

Think yourself lucky.

In Britain we get UFC fights only, oh and we have just started showing WiRED. But WiRED is broadcast on Setanta which you have to subscribe to. All other programs on Setanta aint worth s#_t.

Have a look at our UK version of the UFC website and view the full schedule………sucks!!!!!

We also get Cage Rage and TKO MMA archives that are about 5 years behind the current schedule.

I watched GSP in his 5th professional MMA fight a couple of nights ago :(

When you guys mention new up and comers, I have to wait 5 years to watch them fight lol

This is great news John..I hope it is true…It seems like DreamStage is rebuilding PrideFC, with their new promotion Dream-1, and I love it…
They are re-recruiting some of the PrideFC fighters already..and they even got the little “pimp” looking ring announcer too.

For people who dont know who Sergei Kharitonov is’..Look him up..

Sergei is one of the MANY fighters that need to be in the UFC..

AnyTime! i am also very happy with the agressive event schedule that DREAM has booked for the next 6 months. I really hope that they can be successful so that the organization could grow to be a legit competitor to the UFC, just like Pride was. I am very excited about the middleweight tournament. It features a couple of legends as well as Akiyama Kang, dong sik yoon. I am also really excited about cro cop vs. Kharitonov. Its a great fight and a win/win situation. If cro cop can beat Sergei, than we can start taking him serious again. If he looses, then put a fork in him, and people will have to start taking more notice to what a great heavyweight Sergei really is!

Stagger Lee: Sergie is NO JOKE!!! He is still under the age of 30 and is a very tough guy with really good stand up and a Combat Sambo background. I would have loved for him to be in the UFC, but if DREAM is going to stock up on Heavyweights, like Pride did, we will see some great fights out of Sergaie in DREAM.

I also read today on other threads that DREAM will be looking to put together a Cro Cop vs. Fedor fight for the new years event, as long as cro cop and Fedor continue to win.

Last week I read that Fedor was negotiating a 1 fight deal with the UFC. Then reports surfaced that Randy doesnt want to fight Fedor in the UFC, so I wont be too surprised If Fedor does land with DREAM. I wont be mad either, if DREAM stocks up on heavyweights and they grow into the new PRIDE.

Randy seems to not want anything to ever do with the UFC again and even though he would prefer to fight Fedor in America, he wouldnt be opposed to a fight against the Russian in Japan.

Could we possibly see Fedor vs. Couture in DREAM? What if Randy eventually signs a 3 fight deal with DREAM? Dana white will be sooooooo pissed! Moves like that will help DREAM get on the map really quick.

Damn straight. I try to keep my mouth shut very often when it comes to these things, but seeing you guys desperate to see the latest DREAM PPV when I’ve alreay had my hands on it in DVD quality about 7 hours after it’s finished broadcasting in Japan really eats at me.

Heck, we don’t get ANY MMA here in Norway and I donwload everything and anything I need off the net. My collection of UFC 1-82 didn’t cost much more than a few bucks for the empty CD’s and DVD’s and I sure ain’t got no guilt feelins about it.

As for the OT- I do have to go with Frank here. Yes, he’s a total jack@ss, but I think he’ll definitely be able to take Cung down and either submit him or go for a decision win. Nothing pretty or effective, but I can see it happening.

So pumped for this fight. I’ve been saying since the beginning that Cung Le is on another level. Not to take anything from Shamrock, but Le’s striking — not just kicks — is so precise. I’m a little skeptical about his grappling but I’m sure he’s not so stupid to ignore that.

I know this is probably a dumb question, but seeing as how this fight involves Frank Shamrock, what happens to the title in the case of a DQ, does the winner still get the belt?

[quote post=”5380″]Raul, links to fights are always posted on this site. For example, here is Dan Henderson’s first ever pro MMA fight:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juJ-lFuvwTI/quote

This is why this site is beneficial.

Great feeds (a la John, VM, Adam G, Phil, keystone, my bud toelock and all the rest, don’t know about that Mania though lol), info (for us with limited info) and general great debates.

Everyones, or mostly everyones, opinion is valued.

Or just download that shizam!!! Probably shouldn’t say on here, but if we have no way of getting it then i don’t see the problem…I download TUF episodes too because they are run like 1-2 weeks behind here and it’s impossible to avoid spoilers.

Still confused about this though :(

ViolentMike, thanks for the reminder, though I thought there might be a difference between torrent trackers and you tube\daily motion and their likes.

I like to use http://www.xtremewrestlingtorrents.net and http://tracker.fullcontactzone.com/browse.php for all my MMA needs, whether it’s a PPV about 5-8 hours after it’s happened live, BJJ instructionals, episodes of TUF etc.

I think I’ve got some invites left for both the trackers if anybody’s interested, but you’d have to promise to be serious and seed back what you leech, otherwise I get banned together with you… ;)
Going back to watching UFC81 now, got a huge craving for seeing the Sylvia-Nog fight. That sweep and guilliotine needs to be relieve again I think :)
