My thoughts exactly. Surprised the UFC picked him up at all and more shocked that they don't give him a few test fights in the UFC before giving him a fight against an elite 185er. Vitor is ono his way to being the #1 contender again while Le just went 1-1 with Scott Smith and generally just doesn't have that impressive of a resume as far as talent faced goes.
If Cung Le trains seriously he might might this interesting. When he was fighting Scott Smith, I get the feeling that half of his heart was in making films, half was in fighting. Perhaps the exposure that being in the UFC will give him will be good motivation.
