UFC 139

[Luke]

So who comes in as the dog here?

Le

[SPX]

I'll probably be on him.

[zY|]

Wand should still win. He's much better than Scott Smith.

[sbjj]

I think Smith and Silva are actually on par with one another.

I would for sure bet Le as a dog.

You take that back. Take it back right now.

[SPX]

Yes, Wand is better than Smith, but Le only beat Smith because Le wasn't in shape Smith has hands of steel.

The thing about this fight is that it will be a stand up fight. No doubt about that. And Le is a legit ISKA kickboxing champ while Wand is a not-as-good-as-he-used-to-be brawler.

Don't get me wrong, I would like to see Wandy win, but I think Cung has a great change here, and should maybe even be a favorite. Wand basically has to beat him at his own game.

[poopoo333]

Wandy can just take him down.

[zY|]

Maybe Wand takes him down and GNPs him?

[SPX]

Do you really think that's what's going to happen?

Besides, it often goes unrecognized that Cung is not totally out of sorts when it comes to wrestling. He was a champ in high school (or maybe college?).

I don't see why not. He caught Bisping's kicks and tripped him on his ass twice.

[poopoo333]

Yeah, in community college. 20 fucking years ago

Dana White: Wanderlei Silva's octagon career on line in UFC 139 bout with Cung Le

[SPX]

Did he follow him down? Furthermore, why do you necessarily think Cung can't just get back to his feet? I know Cung hasn't fought a lot of wrestlers, but to be fair, has he EVER just been handled on the ground?

Like Jon Jones?

Minus the 20 year part. . .

Maybe he does get back to his feet. Maybe he doesn't. Maybe fuck yourself.

I think Shamrock would've handled him on the ground if he had taken him down. I'm just saying there's no reason to assume it will be standup only.

[zY|]

And yes, Jon Jones is a great comparison to Cung Le.
