That means that he needs to keep from getting his face beaten on and preserve some of the mystique of his martial arts skills. I don't think he's motivated to be the best by beating the best. And, because of his acting aspirations, he won't be able to go to the UFC or his agent will get "bitch-slapped" by Dana White. Seriously though. Why should Le make small money fighting for real when he can make big money in choreographed and edited highlight reels against fictitious foes set against dubious drama? (this coming from martial arts movie buff) Cung Le wants to be in movies.

Someone who will agree to a standup battle" I don't know where you got that information at...but I don't think that a fight contracts states that the 2 fighters have an agreement to not take the fight to the ground. They might as well just kickbox. I think people will see that Cung Le is able to fight on the ground. “3. Someone who will agree to a standup battle”

It's a delicate problem for his handlers - they have to find: 1. Someone folks will recognize 2. Someone who has a financial need 3. Someone who will agree to a standup battle Regardless of what is reported to the AC, Sam will probably end up making more money for the fight than Cung Le. “…why did Strikeforce take so long lining up a fighter for him this time around?”

Cung needs to pack his bags and go anywhere else. Not knocking Sam Morgan but why did Strikeforce take so long lining up a fighter for him this time around? They should already be lining up Cung's next fight and marketing it. Seeing "Cung Le vs. TBA" all the way up until 12 days before the actual fight is a joke. Strikeforce's website doesn't even have the news yet. Strikeforce is starting to piss me off. Cung needs to pack his bags and go anywhere else.
