Tonight Cung Le kept his perfect record in tact as he TKO’d Sam Morgan in the third round of the Strikeforce main event. After the fight he and Frank Shamrock announced that they will fight. Cung told Frank and the crowd that it was all about the fans and a fight between the two would be the biggest MMA fight in northern California history. Both Le and Shamrock have schools in the bay area and are huge fan favorites. This could be a mega payday for these guys.

A date has not been set, but I know that in the next couple of days the MMA forums will be chalk full of fight prediction over this bout. My early prediction, Frank Shamrock by whatever means he wants. Frank has way too much experience to lose this one. Cung has only 5 fights under his belt as hasn’t even faced a top 20 contender. Shamrock is crafty enough on his feet to avoid Le’s strikes and will have complete control of him on the ground. Period.
