Sweet deal. I’ll be in the chat for the play by play.
What a fight! Cung le is a bad ass mofo!
Wow….great fight! Le fought great, but Shamrock eliminated the ground game from this fight…which may have been his downfall
Le took all 3 of those rounds hands down. Shamrock was sloppy and showboating. I’m glad Le won.
WOW. Finally. A fight with 2 great guys and a definitive win. I love Cung Lee & have watched him for a long time and am ecstatic that his skills translate so well into MMA.I basically knew nothing about Shamrock till this fight . I think he’s a great guy and a real draw in his own right, and a real class act. BUT- Cung Lee WOW! He WAS the better man tonight. I thought he looked nervous pre-fight but WTF do I know?? He was in his zone and no one was taking him out of it. “It don’t git much better ‘an this ” in my opinion….All in all a great counterpart to UFC. A clash of 2 class acts.Take out your checkbook DANA….
OOPS, too many Margaritas 2nite …. make that Cung LE….. DUH….
Frank has overlooked Le for along time and he got kicked in the head real hard for it congrats Cung Le, cheers
“I basically knew nothing about Shamrock till this fight”
are you a fan of MMA????
“I love Cung Lee & have watched him for a long time and am ecstatic that his skills translate so well into MMA.”
Frank knew he could take him down, and make it his fight, but he’s a showmanship fighter and let it stand up.
Cung Lee is good, but not great in standup, and is unproven within the ground game.
Trust me, he’d get killed in the 205 UFC class, and there is no debate about that.
#25 Frank Shamrock & Cung Le (only 1 “e”) both fight @ 185
I thought that Shamrock was a fool to not take Le down. He let go of numerous opportunities to do so. Yes, I understand what he was trying to accomplish “outside” the cage but doing so translates to taking Cung Le too lightly.
Overall, it was a surprisingly one-sided fight. Not absolutely one-sided, mind you. Shamrock seemed much more interested in being a personality than being a fighter tonight. He (and his forearm) obviously paid the price.
185 I meant, i’m sorry of course. I even watched the weigh-ins too

Thanks again for doing a great job calling the fight for those of us who couldn’t watch it. Sorry I up and disappeared, my cable company decided to do some work on the wireless nodes starting at 10pm. Not only didn’t tell anybody, they started early.
As always the 5oz community was great, thanks again!
