    Bring it on! That's the fight Cung wants! Cung Le vs Anderson Silva is a mega-mega fight.

    And Goldie already started the hype job by calling him, "One of the greatest of all time." If he was talking san shu, I would agree, but he was talking MMA. Typically you need to have more than a handful of fights to be an all-time great...

    That's a bit premature - but oddly prescient perhaps. Cung is without a doubt the greatest San Shou fighter of all time.

    Would be a great stand-up war. I truly hope it comes off.

    I would expect Le to have some fights against top 10 fighters first though.

    **** this roids talk.

    The reason he looked like **** against Griffin is because he got married and spent more time eating wedding cake and ****ing his wife.

    He listened to all the fans who did'nt give Griffin a hope in hell of winning the fight.

    The reason he looked **** against Coleman is because he was coming off surgery and a huge lay off, and he had no repsect for Coleman. Again, no one gave Coleman a hope in hell of winning the rematch.

    If you look at Shoguns body during training for his fight with Chuck, and you look at it in the ring tonight he was in real good shape and very well prepared. He was in PRIDE shape!

    We did'nt see any sloppy work from Shogun tonight either.

    We did'nt see him go crazy throwing strikes from all over the place with no defence.

    He picked his shots well and admired his work before he picked the next shot.

    He fought a perfect fight, a perfect gameplan, and this was without doubt one of the best, most techincal Shogun performances we've ever seen.

    Yes, you can say that Chuck's best days are over but no one picked Chuck apart and finished him this quickly before.

    Chuck looked really fired up for this fight and Shogun picked him apart with skill.

    PS

    Anderson by easy KO! :yep

    If that hook to the body was to the other side, I reckon Leites would have been on trouble.

    What the hell is Silva doing? Did someone tell him he was on Dancing with the Stars tonight?

    Well he is a counter-striker. If the other guy doesn't bring it too him **** like that happens.

    So Silva stops dancing with his hands down and wants to fight...and Leites is flopping all over the place. What a stylistic nightmare this fight is.

    This is the most bizarre fight I've ever seen. It's like a circus clown battle.

    This is about what I was expecting. I thought there might be more action though.

    I could have done without all the dancing and clowning around.
