He probably thought he could knock out Le the way he knocked out Baroni - not a bad assumption considering he looked twice Le's size. Le, at 5'9", looks heavy at 185 and should probably fight at 170-175 lbs (his best sanshou weight). Although Le dominated the stand up game, I was impressed by the way Shamrock connected with leg kicks and by the way he rocked Le once he connected with punches. Shamrock also showed that he has a great chin and a lot of heart. It was a bad idea for Shamrock not to take the fight to the ground. Had Shamrock taken Le down, he most likely would have won the fight. He did not shoot even once during the fight. It will be exciting to watch Le's ground game progress. He currently has the best kicks in all of MMA. He is also a good wrestler with devastating throws and take downs. Once Le is more comfortable on the ground, he will eventually incorporate these techniques into his MMA arsenal. He will be even more dangerous -and even more exciting to watch - when he does. Congratulations to both men for an exciting fight and to Cung Le as the new champ. If Shamrock had healthy knees it would have been a different fight.

No doubt that it was great and both men deserve a ton of credit but it was just a great main event and nothing more. I wonder where Cung Le goes from here? Rematch? If not, who is there to fight in Strikeforce or does EXC try to get him on a CBS show which seems to be the best idea. I too think this was not the greatest fight ever as some have called it.
