Maybe Shamrock didn't think we would be able to take Le down, that's why he chose to stand with him. Shamrock isn't really known for his wrestling. I really like Cung Le's style, but I just have a bad feeling a BJJ guy would work him over if they could get him to the ground. But, if he is a good wrestler, getting him on the groud might be easier said then done. Anyway, I do fully agree that EliteXC has the makings of a big star on their hands. Cung Le is a good looking fighter that fights a exciting style that the casual fans will love to watch. I think he is the perfect guy for a CBS show.

Hell, UFC would have had some sort of a preview show for this fight. Supposedly, Le was undefeated in wrestling--at least that's what the announcers said--so he's got that in his background, too.

I think Frank Shamrock seemed way to cocky going into this fight. It seemed like he though he could just toy with Chung Le for the first two rounds and then come on late and beat him. Chung Le proved himself to be a great striker, especially with his kicks, but I was really hopeing to learn more about him comming out of this fight. We still haven't really seen anyone test Chung Le on the ground yet. Maybe next time (if there is a next time) Frank will think twice about his game plan, and at least try to shoot for some takedowns.
