"I knew he was going to come out [quickly]. I knew he was going to come hard, close the distance so I couldn't kick. But he forgot that I've got [fists]! I set up the [spinning back kick] with the hands. I had a great training camp, I learned to sit on my punches and set everything up. I hit him and I knew he was going to back up, thinking I was going to throw another combo. But I stuck that kick in. It was a great lead shot and got him right in the liver. That's all she wrote!"
-- A jubilant Cung Le talks about his finish of the super tough and gritty Scott Smith in the second round of their middleweight rematch at Strikeforce: "Fedor vs Werdum." Le set it up with a beautiful highlight-reel spinning back kick, which apparently was part of the gameplan heading into the showdown. It caught Smith right between his "Hands of Steel" and led to the finish, leaving no room for last minute heroics. Is their any interest in a rubber match? Or, should Strikeforce just enter both men into the 185-pound tournament that is tentatively planned for later this year and see what happens?

Good scrap; always a good scrap when Smith's involved
"The other shape,
If shape it might be call'd, that shape had none,
Distinguishable in member, joint, or limb;
Or substance might be call'd that shadow seem'd;
For each seem'd either; black it stood as night,
Fierce as ten furies, terrible as Hell,
And shook a dreadful dart; what seem'd his head
The likeness of a kingly crown had on.
Satan was now at hand; and from his seat
The monster, moving onward, came as fast
With horrid strides; Hell trembled as he strode."

Agreed. Smith is a gamer
That was a beautiful back kick from Lee, not to many fighters in MMA can pull that off successfully like that. That was a sick kick but I do love Smith, he’ll fight anyone and it would be a great fight. Always has exciting fights
Smith for as hard as his head is (hence no need for any head movement)
his doughy body seems tailor made for digging shots.

Steal Smith from SF and make it happen Dana;

Cung Le vs Jake Sheilds
Cung was the champ until he left for two years to make crappy movies. He lost when he came back because he had not had a fight in 2 years. He beat the only man to ever beat him and should get a title shot against Jake. That would be a great co-main event with Fedor vs the Overeem/Verdum loser.
yeh sounds good if Jake stays with SF. We will just have to wait and see and im not sure why its taking sooo long.
Open up the Shit Gates and where the Hell was Marv?
I think the reason is that Shields is waiting to sign with the UFC.
I believe his contract with SF makes it so that he has to wait a certain amount of time before he can sign with someone else, giveing SF the chance to make a counter offer.

With the immediate rematch they made for Cung, there’s no reason not to do a rubber match. Hell, they can kill two birds with one stone, and have their first round match in the MW tourney against each other.
getting hit in the liver
is one of the worst things ever
never have any regrets, because at the time, thats all you wanted to do
