Tonights fight with Cung Le and Frank Shamrock was one of the most entertaining MMA displays I’ve seen this year. Both guys rep San Jose, California and were fighting in front of their home town fans, the crowd was going crazy the entire time (or gettin’ hyphy if you’re from this area).
There were 3 exciting rounds, but Shamrock failed to answer the bell to come out for the 4th. Cung Le broke Shamrock’s arm, which was most likely the result of accumulating kicks. The downright ARROGANCE of Frank Shamrock is what ultimately did him in. He refused to take Cung Le to the mat (where Frank has the advantage), and insisted on trying to knock Le out in the stand up.
Instead of knocking Cung out, he was systematically broken down until his body couldn’t take it anymore, all because he wanted to prove a point.

Ah men! Only till the 2nd round. Nevertheless, yeah, Frank’s arrogance thinking that he could take Le on stand-up ultimately led to his defeat. I mean, Le’s in a totally different leauge as far as stand-up fighters in the MMA world are concerned.
I totally respect Le, and am a Kung Fu practitioner myself, but it’d be interesting to see Cung fight a fighter who’d actually take advantage of Le’s inexperience fighting on his back (or is he?). Sure would be interesting to see how Cung would fare.
Me and all of my boys were screaming at the TV for Cung Le to aggress the situation a couple of times where he had Shamrock dazed. Once standing, and once after that massive leg sweep. Why didn’t he go in for the kill?
Still, dope fight!
what a gay fight. bunch of sissies prancing and dancing around the ring.
