Cung Le is one of the most impressive strikers to compete in MMA in recent memory.
The way Le is able to blend his kicks with punches is downright beautiful to watch.
The former Strikeforce middleweight champion ran his undefeated streak to six wins to begin his MMA career. Le tasted defeat for the first time against Scott Smith but then defeated Smith in a rematch.
Le performed admirably, but lost, in his UFC debut against MMA legend Wanderlei Silva. He bounced back at UFC 148 with a victory over Canadian, Patrick Cote.
He now carries the weight of being the main event for the UFC’s first event in China and faces a very game Rich Franklin on Saturday night. It’s more of a novelty fight, but fans still have plenty of concerns about the former Strikeforce champion.
