The perks of winning the Strikeforce middleweight belt on March 29 just keep coming for Cung Le.
Donruss — a popular trading card company — has decided to include the champ as one of 30 fighters who will be featured in its new MMA edition titled “Ring Kings,” which is set for a mid-July release date.
Le will be showcased with an autographed card, a card that has a piece of his fighting shorts, as well as a regular action shot card.
His mixed martial arts accomplishments along with his extensive San Shou kick boxing background have also earned him a role in the upcoming live-action big screen version of the infamous fighting video game, “Tekken.”
It is scheduled to be released sometime next year and, remember, will also star UFC lightweight contender, Roger Huerta.
Le has also has been cast in an upcoming movie with Academy Award nominee Terrence Howard called “Fighting.”
Life is good when you’re a champion.
Le has proven to be very marketable and popular with his highlight reel kicks and stunning knockouts. He’s got the look and the talent to perhaps become one of Hollywood’s next big martial arts stars.
Look out.
