Cung Le Wants To Fight One To Two More Times In 2010

Tue, Nov 10 | from The MMA News
After an extended absence from the cage, one that will last for over 20 months, former Strikeforce middleweight champion Cung Le (6-0) will headline the December 18 “Strikeforce: Evolution” show in a fight against Scott “Hands of Steel” Smith. Le hasn’t fought since March 29 of 2008 when he defeated Frank Shamrock for the Strikeforce middleweight title. Le’s movie career took off shortly afterward, and the South Vietnamese mixed martial artist found he had no time to schedule a title defense. Earlier this fall Le handed the belt back to the Strikeforce organization because of the uncertainty of his availability.
