UFC 138: Cung Le is 'all for' an 'exciting fight' against Chris Leben in San Jose

Former Strikeforce Middleweight Champion Cung Le.
Name ring a bell? It may not, especially to some of the newer fans of mixed martial arts. Le (7-1) only averages one fight per year since 2007 and hasn't been seen since exacting revenge on Scott Smith at Strikeforce: "Fedor vs. Werdum" back in June 2010.
A lot has changed over the course of a year.
For starters, Strikeforce is now a part of the UFC machine, which means the San Shou striker now answers to a higher authority. But will he hide inside the contractual loopholes of the Showtime network? Or voluntarily jump into the shark-infested waters of Zuffa's stacked 185-pound division?
Le tells Fight Hype he's ready to give the fans what they want:
"I would like to have a couple of fights in the UFC. I'm one of those guys that, if it's going to be an exciting fight and a good match-up for the fans to watch, let's get it on. I have nothing to prove, so I'm down to fight anyone if it's going to be exciting for the fans to watch. Right now, it's all up to the UFC. Ever since I heard that Cain [Velasquez] was going to be fighting in San Jose ... I would love to be on the same card. You know, on Yahoo! Sports, there is a Cung Le vs. [Chris] Leben thread if there was a cross promotion. Like I said, if the fans think it is an exciting fight for them to watch, I'm all for it."
After surrendering the 185-pound strap to pursue an acting career in Hollywood, Le returned to the fight game at the HP Pavilion in December 2009, where he saw his perfect record go up in smoke against "Hands of Steel" via third round technical miracle.
Smith would try to replicate that performance in their second encounter, but "Dragon Eyes" ended his night with a vicious body kick early in the second stanza.
Now he wants to test his might at UFC 138 in San Jose -- if the fans want to see it.
Well, how about it Maniacs? Le's asking ... but are you answering? Would a middleweight scrap against "The Crippler" on Nov. 19 interest you? Or not so much?
Opinions, please.

oh hell yes, please make this happen!!!! Cung will KO Leben silly…
Bring back the Chute Boxe of old!!!
I am with you Manalito.
Leben looks like a God against wild strikers with expired chins. But if he doesn’t land that lucky strike like Scott Smith did in his first fight against Le, then I see Leben Vs. Le going down just likee Smith Vs. Le 2!

Leben is a much better striker than Smith though
Californication-SoCal-SouthCaliStunNa-Cali is the most knowledgable poster on Mania, in regards to all things MMA, BBQ, milk, movies, and women. I should have learned from the fallen before me not to go up against him. NNR has no idea what’s in store for him, like me, he will join the beheaded on Cali’s Hit List.

Negative. Leben has a better chin and more power but that's about it.

Does Smith even throw combos?
No dude, Leben is a much better striker in addition to the power and chin

Your definition of striker is very generous. They are both brawlers - in the truest sense of the word.
“Does Smith even throw combos?”
This question coming from a Leben fan…you have got to be shitting me.

leben has more power?
Punching power maybe, but Cung is one of those freaks that kicks baseball bats in half at parties. He kicked Frank Shamrock’s arm in half and polishes his toenails with the broken shards of his opponents’ ribs.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
le would destroy leben
But it would take a round or 2 and be really fun to watch. Please happen

if le is able to scott smith (rds 1, 2 & 4) the shit of leben
this fight would be fucking fantastic!

it's much more impressive to control a guy like fitch for 5 rounds than it is to beat leites in any fashion. The quality of opposition tells a story as well.
Sorry, what were you trying to say?
by Starr788 on Jul 18, 2011 1:13 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
i meant that rounds 1, 2 of the first fight against scott smith were exciting
the third was meh but the finish was great. The 1st (or 4th by continuation) of their second fight was balls to the wall awesome.
if that same le shows up against leben, that fight would be a candidate for fotn or even the fucking year (knowing leben’s style)

Why is Leben so damn inconsistent
it makes his fights impossible to pick
Caution PED side effects: Dumbassery, Bitchness, Severe Choking, Gettin put on Wanderlei Silva’s death list
Its Better To Lose And Not Cheat, Then Cheat And Not Win
I haven't called a Leben fight right since he lost to Bisping
I expect Leben to close the distance quickly, eating a couple of stiff body kicks along the way then smash the D lister with uppercuts in the clinch and finish him in the first round. Leben’s got the better power, cardio and chin and he’s also far better on the ground, Dung Le’s a flashy kicker but that won’t be anywhere near enough if Leben shows up motivated and in shape.
Anderson Silva is still the P4P King of MMA and will be 14-0 in the UFC after Rio, Jon Jones is the future P4P King and will smash Quittin inside 3 rounds and I told everyone from the start that Cain and JDS were the best 2 HWs in the world. TRT is the get out clause for drug cheats and UFC 133 officially sucks.
Cung Le
will rock leben all night long with some lethal kicks
Fuck the Bruins, Fuck the Patriots, Fuck Damon & Afleck and MotherFuck The Celtics!!!
p.s i don`t give 2 shits about baseball
Le tells Fight Hype he’s ready to give the fans what they want
so hes leaving MMA and only making straight to dvd movies now ? thats what i’d want.
ur always moaning!!
"ever heard of a tune up? tee hee hee hee
"ah hee hee hee ever heard of a ritual killing? tee hee hee hee"
"i dont get it"
"you gnaw on her face in public like that again and you'll be one tee hee hee hee"
The fact that he ducked Shields to make shit films after holding a world title hostage for 2 years pisses me off
And that he’s supposedly a top 10 MW who could trouble Andy despite being in his late 30s and a part time at best fighter who relies solely on kickboxing to beat handpicked opponents tailor made for his style, and even then he’s still at risk of getting KO’d if he can’t get a quick finish. There’s lots to hold against Dung Le.

LOL Simon.
He said “fans” not “fan”. Not sure why you’d want him to leave though. His fights are always exciting and his striking is refreshing to watch. And by the way his movies are good too. I enjoyed Pandorum.

My wife really liked Le's charachter in the movie.
And she had no idea who he was. So that was evidence enough to me that he was legit as far as action stars go. He didn’t have a lot of lines but he never seemed out of place or out of his league.

Leben to cut down and fight Guillard!
That would be sick! Too bad it will never happen too much weight difference. I wouldn’t mind seeing him match up against Anthony Johnson either. While we are at it lets just have an open weight tournament once a year to see who the REAL “ultimate” fighter is!

That would be an awesome fight
It’d probably go the same way as Melvin-Robbie, with Melvin dominating with his superior kickboxing before dropping his hands at a crucial time and getting KO’d by a hail mary shot.

Anderson and Le would be a good fight, Silva would destroy him though just on reach alone
If Dan Hardy ever moved up, him and Le would also be a good fight.
Surprised they haven’t done a Melvin Manhoef and Cung Le fight yet.
Lol, it would be a great fight as hardy would be sparked out cold again
Hardy has one weapon, the sloppy left hook and i’ve seen more moon landings than i have landings of his sloppy left hook.
+ larger number

Cung Le isn't UFC Material
He’s a great striker, but I don’t see him as a well rounded mixed martial artist and that can only take you so far in the UFC.
It depends on who Joe Silva matches him up with.
Smart to match him up with guys like Leben who are also strikers as opposed to someone who will take him down easily and hold him down for three rounds.

I'm surprised to see the Le love here..
I think Leben takes this all day long. He’ll walk through Le’s strikes and grit out an exciting TKO. You heard it here first…

I know you got Leben in your SN
so you may be a little bias and there is probably no sense in arguing with you, LOL. But your explanation sounds an awful lot like the arguments for Brian Stann to fail miserably. Supposedly the UFC washouts over at the WEC weren’t up to par. Now who was the last guy to KO Leben?…

Leben will walk down Cung and grind him out. If Leben stays on the outside then Cung will pick him apart for a UD - but I don't see that happening.

Le was completely owning him the first time,
until fatigue and cockiness got the better of him. It was as if the first fight was a back and fourth battle.
Leben lost to Kalib Starnes.
KALIB STARNES! Also Rosholt put it on him. Jason MacDonald. Of his last 13 fights, he’s lost 6!

It would prob happen whenever cung le went for one of his scissor trip takedowns that he loves so much. They’re badass as hell, as he pulls’em off nicely. But still… risky, risky.

Now that would be a good fight
And I don’t see how Vitor won’t beat Sexyama, he’s a far better striker and a far bigger man plus his cardio is a lot better as well. Except Sexy to pretend he’s not a judoka once again and get picked apart as he tries to brawl before gassing out and trying to survive for the rest of the fight.
Vitor-Leben would be really fun to watch though, Vitor has the handspeed, power and technique to dominate Leben but he doesn’t have the heart or cardio that Chris has, I wouldn’t be totally surprised to see Vitor’s head drop if he couldn’t stop Chris in the opening round and the momentum of the fight change with Leben taking the later rounds. It’s a fight that I want to see and a win for either man would launch them right back to the top of the division.

Wont happen anyway (as much as I want it to). Dana always lets Leben win at least 2 fights before he has him obliterated.

Because Cung Le is really as accurate and powerful a striker as Andy right?

If Scott Smith can beat Le, Leben (who is basically a better version of Scott Smith) can definitely win.
And I think Leben’s ground game is probably better than Le’s.

Le is a part time fighter with some very good kicks and I’m a fan but come on he would be an average ufc fighter unless he commits 100% to mma, and Anderson Silva would kill him at this point. Sorry Gus Johnson

Andy would have killed him at any time
That was namedropping from SF at it’s most blatant.
Anderson Silva is still the P4P King of MMA and will be 14-0 in the UFC after Rio, Jon Jones is the future P4P King and will smash Quittin inside 3 rounds and I told everyone from the start that Cain and JDS were the best 2 HWs in the world. TRT is the get out clause for drug cheats and UFC 133 officially sucks.
Leben wins this rather easily IMO
He stands for a little while, and if that doesnt go well(it most likely wont but leben always has a chance) he takes him down and subs him. Lebens a good wrestler with a good groundgame
3 greatest MMA fights IMO
Griffin vs Bonnar
Edgar vs Maynard 2
Chan Sung Jung vs Garcia
Don't know
I have little doubt that Leben could submit him without much trouble. Also if he goes inside with him he will get ko’d
Californication-SoCal-SouthCaliStunNa-Cali is the most knowledgable poster on Mania, in regards to all things MMA, BBQ, milk, movies, and women. I should have learned from the fallen before me not to go up against him. NNR has no idea what’s in store for him, like me, he will join the beheaded on Cali’s Hit List.

Call me a Rory Fanboy.
In 2 or 3 years he’ll be running the division. Maybe even by next year if GSP moves up. As for right now, he’s top 10 (he just has to prove it)…Pyle isn’t.
Fighting solves everything.
Pyle has beat better guys than Rory
Rory dominated a lightweight, which is impressive, but not as impressive as Pyle beating Almeida. He also destroyed mega-hyped prospect Jon Hathaway… Young prospect who was supposed to be champ in a few years… sound familiar?

YES YES YES
I’ve been a fan of Chris Leben since he was on TUF but I would love to see Cung Le kick his ass. Watching Cung fight for Strikeforce has been fantastic. If he were younger and fought more often I’m sure that he would be an easy top 10 pick. I hope to see this happen. San Jose here I come.
no Le has great suplexes and takedowns not just strikes
watch a cung le highlight he slams guys and kicks them etc..cung le would show the world that an elite striker will destroy a guy with a great chin and power in his hands because leben would mosly hit air and le is sooooo much faster. However Le throws a lot of flicky stuff, flashy, quick but he does not show great power not like leben. only thing leben could do is charge in swinging miss a few get hit by a few and keep pressing and land one big shot
Is Le 1 dimensional?
Yeah, we haven’t seen his ground game in MMA, but it could just be b/c of great take down defense. No one seems to bring up that he was a JUCO wrestling champ in California. And I’ve seen him pull off some wicked take downs in sanshou.
It’s like saying Anderson is 1 dimensional cause he kills everyone on the feet.
I would like to see this fight
Cung sounds like he wants an exciting fight and we know Chris is always up for bringing exciting fights. Let’s do this!
Chris would smash this dude....BAAAAAADDDD!!!!!
I like bacon...
#1 Quinton Rampage the Dragon Slayer Jackson fan for LIFE..FTW!!! Nick Diaz would mop the floor with GSP and the fight with Sheilds confirms it!!!

english/2nd language???
Haha very funny assholes. first of all i was typing very fast because unlike some of you losers, we have something we call a JOB dicks. and of course you are a Anderson Silva fan. its because you don’t care about the fight..you just want to see him dance in his tighty tights afterwards. Cung Le will break anderson’s legs with his kicks but don’t worry..you’ll still get the chance to see Anderson DANCE.
Cung Le beat/kill Leben too easy everyone
just a few kicks, Cung Le will break Leben arm, and a few kicks after will stop his respiratory system, and finally a punch Leben go on the ground. sorry guys so sad to say that, only Silva Anderson is a good oppenent for Le
Destiny Calls
Cung Le will destroy Leben, and put on a show doing it. He’s destined to fight Silva , I think he’s known that from the start
Monstrous thumbs up for this fight.
We need to see what Cung Le can do against UFC Fighters. Chris Leben would be an excellent starting point. I think a fight between them could go either way and would be very exciting. I would 100 percent watch. To all the people think Leben would crush Cung Le. Leben is only 6-4 in his last 10 fights. That is a D- or F in anyones book. I think this fight is an Awsome Idea.
