Cung Le calls for a fight with Chris Leben

“I would like to have a couple of fights in the UFC. I’m one of those guys that, if it’s going to be an exciting fight and a good match-up for the fans to watch, let’s get it on. I have nothing to prove, so I’m down to fight anyone if it’s going to be exciting for the fans to watch. Right now, it’s all up to the UFC. Ever since I heard that Cain [Velasquez] was going to be fighting in San Jose … I would love to be on the same card. You know, on Yahoo! Sports, there is a Cung Le vs. [Chris] Leben thread if there was a cross promotion. Like I said, if the fans think it is an exciting fight for them to watch, I’m all for it.”

Cung Le lever! Jeg troede sgu ærligt talt, at han var gået helt over til showbizz, men det kunne da være fedt at se hans syge spark i UFC, selvom han er ved at være oppe i årene.

Koshcheck kommer nok til at at være på dette kort i mw divisionen.

After Belfort’s last explosive win in UFC 133 against Yoshihiro Akiyama, UFC is quickly putting him back in the ring and this time against martial arts master Cung Le for UFC 139 on November 19th in San Jose, California.

UFC Champ VS Kickboxing Champ
His next step back to the top goes by the name of Cung Lewith an undefeated kick boxing record and only suffering only one loss in MMA which he avenged with extreme force.

This champion Sanshou kick boxer is entering UFC for the first time after a reign in Strikeforce. He took some time after his win against Frank Shamrock to become the second Strikeforce Middleweight Champion before vacating the title to further pursue an acting career.

Le fights for UFC a desire that has been expressed greatly. “I know for a fact that if I do fight again, it’s going to be in the UFC. I’ve never fought in the UFC, but I would love to fight in the UFC. But right now because of my contract with Showtime and Strikeforce, hopefully things can work out because there is a show in San Jose that Cain Velasquez is the main event. I would love to fight in San Jose for the UFC….” said Le.

Training with a purpose!
With Ray Sefo on Vitor’s side we aim to see him pick up some new tricks. Prepare to see the same dedication he takes to creating his fists the fastest in MMA to his powerful trunks. This is going to be a battle!

Fedt! War Cung Lee!! Håber han roundhouse kicker vitor over i hegnet!

Damn, fedt at se Cung Le stadig lever. Spørgsmålet er imidlertid, om han stadig gør det efter mødet med Belfort. Le er trods alt 39 år, og han har ikke kæmpet i laaang tid.

[F.S.B.]

Le fortjener slet ikke den kamp. Det gjorde Akiyama selvfølgelig heller ikke, men han havde i det mindste haft et par underholdende performances mod bedre modstandere end Le nogensinde har trådt i ringen eller buret med. ... Når nu det er sagt, så tror jeg det bliver en rigtig skæg match-up.

Umiddelbart kan jeg ikke forestille mig andet end en Belfort-sejr. Han er yngre, men har mere erfaring inden for MMA, samt bedre rækkevidde, hurtigere hænder, mere slagstyrke og et bedre ground game. Men på den anden side viste Sakuraba jo at Vitor lider af spinning back kick-allergi, så måske Le alligevel kan få has på ham.

[a2zinck]

“I feel honored and very excited. It’s just nerves and everything going on. It’s been pretty exciting. Vitor was the only one offered to me, and when they said, ‘Hey Cung, we’d like you to fight Vitor,’ I said yes. Go big or go home. We’ll find out who’s more dangerous come November 19.”

“It’s a dream. It’s like coming full circle. My first MMA fight was in San Jose, and now my first UFC fight is going to be in San Jose. Definitely, I’m very excited about it.”

[Anto1400]

Der er en rimmelig fed kamp, og selvfølgelig har Chung ikke fortjent den, men Vitor vinder nok aldrig bæltet igen. Derfor er det jo en fed kamp, og sådan noget skal der også være plads til.

Kan man ikke sige det om stort set alle i UFC så længe Anderson har bæltet? :P

Vitor er stadigvæk en contender i UFC. Kan ikke forestille mig andet end at Joe Silva smider ham i disse lette kampe (mod modstandere, der, hvis de formår at overraske, også sagtens vil kunne promoveres) for at bygge ham op til en title eliminator.

Chun-Li vs. Vitor Belfort ville være en fed kamp. Cung Le vs. Vitor Belfort er, tror jeg, endnu en let og hurtig win for Vitor.

WAR SHOGUN!!!

Dan Henderson and Mauricio “Shogun” Rua have verbally agreed to face off at UFC 139 on Nov. 19, MMAWeekly.com has learned.

Independent sources confirmed the fight, which will stand as Henderson’s return to the organization after defeating Russian heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko in Strikeforce.

The bout will likely be the new main event for the card that saw its prior main event between heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez and no. 1 contender Junior dos Santos get moved to the main event of the Nov. 12 UFC on Fox fight card.

Henderson’s return will signal the start of his third tenure in the UFC after recently spending some time in Strikeforce, where he won the organization’s light heavyweight crown in March. At 41 years old, Henderson remains a viable competitor at both middleweight and light heavyweight, and will look to hold the same status in his return to the Las Vegas-based organization.

Rua is coming off a win over Forrest Griffin in a rematch at UFC 134, where he knocked out the TUF season 1 winner in the first round. Despite winning the light heavyweight title in May of 2010, Rua has seen mixed results during his time in the UFC with a record of 4-3. A fight with Henderson shows the road back to the title isn’t one traveled lightly, but it ensures a great match-up.
