Cung Le Added to Strikeforce Card
Cung Le, arguable one of the best all around strikers in the world, has been added to the Strikeforce “Four Men Enter, One Man Survives” card on November 16th in San Jose. Le (4-0) will face The Ultimate Fighter and UFC vet Sam Morgan (18-8).
Of his upcoming fifth mixed martial arts fight, the famed kickboxer Le said, “I just can’t wait to get back in the cage. I think the fight with Tony definitely proved that I have the ability to be a force in mixed martial arts. Being able to fight on your feet is just as important as being able to fight on the ground in this sport because the fight starts standing up. My ground game is still evolving but, as far as stand up goes, I feel I’m one of the strongest fighters out there.”
Cung’s ground game has yet to be tested, but like he said, the fight starts on your feet. Even though he is a kickboxer by nature, he does have some slick judo throws in his arsenal and is tough to take down. Check out his highlight reel.
Also on the Strikeforce card:
Trevor Prangley (16-4), Falaniko Vitale (24-7), Yuki Sasaki (21-13-1), and Jorge Santiago (14-7) in the four-man tournament.
