Cote vs Cung Lee Confirmed

How does 2 weeks sound Ninja?

I think this makes more sense. To me, Cote and Le are in the same top 50ish range give or take whatever. But I think Rich coming back to 185 is more of a top 20 threat. This just makes more sense from a competitive standpoint to me.

Cung Le vs. Sexyama would have been a better fight to make.

Again, Akiyama pulled out of a fight even later than this with an injury

Top 50? Lol

Neither is top 25, top 50 might be pushing it. This is 185 after all

Cote is one of the luckiest fighters around imo, hard to justify some of the fights he has been in .

FIght matrix has Cote in the 60's and Le in the 80's. I think they hover more around 50 myself.

agree GDP. Le is the epitome of careful match making and he still has losses to Scott Smith and an old Wandy

Cote, he was submitted in under 3 minutes by Travis Lutter.

But when it comes to facing strikers, Cote has never been finished by strikes. He can take a shot. It's not like Le is going to threaten with any submissions.

I still want to see the fight made in the future.

There are not 49 guys at mw that can beat Cung. Any site that has him ranked that high loses cred imo. Scott Smith got his ass kicked in both fights. 1 lucky punch. Wand beat a gassed Cung after Cung pretty much clowned him.

Maybe I reread/heard you... huh?

Le landed one decent spinning back hand. And then this...

That was all a product of a passed Cung who got jinxed by ninja. I thought you knew this already farmer?

Cung landed way more strikes in that fight also.

Wand out struck him every round.

Fightmetric is full of shit then. bbc12metric had Cung landing more strikes until Wand killed Le's face.

agree on hat, but just caudse you've never been knocked out doesn't mean you haven't been beaten in the stand up, Belcher beat him nearly everywhere in that fight and I think Le should be able to win this.

Le is 1-2 in the past four years. That doesn't warrant high rankings for the most part. He needs to actually fight and win to warrant a better ranking.
