    Word. Cung has a chance against Wandy, should be a fun fight to watch and no matter who wins it will make them relevant in the division.

    It really should be a good fight. Think Cung Le has no idea how to defend the Muay Thai Clinch, If Wandy can get inside and make use some of that vicious Muay Thai that he dominated Rampage twice with, this could be an early night for Cung Le. That said if there is distance between the two of them, I see Cung Le tearing Wanderlei Silva apart with his deadly kicks and awkward striking comparetively speaking to the rest of MMAs strikers. In the end, I want to see one of the Sports true legend look good one last night, and put on a clinic in the clinch.

    Yeah if Cung is anywhere near UFC quality I'd have to think hes not as worn down as Wandy and hes probably much faster. We just don't know if Cung can hang with UFC guys though. Much easier opponent but still being thrown into the fire relative to the rest of the competition he's faced.
