Le will fight Shamrock or Smith

"The fight with Cung and Scott was an amazing fight," Coker said. "I know Cung would like that rematch, and I'm sure Scott would like that fight again at some point.

"We haven't locked that down yet, but that will be determined soon. If that fight happens, it will happen in late June."

Smith and Le have not returned to competition since that first clash.

Meanwhile, Shamrock, who serves as a fight analyst on Strikeforce's network TV broadcast team, has put his name in the hat for Le's return opponent.

"Last time I talked to Frank, he was asking me if he should fight Cung," Coker said.

which rematch makes the most sense? Which one do you want to see?

I'd rather see Frank... I know Smith came back with an amazing finish over a spent Le, but I really think that if Frank doesn't have a broken wing that fight goes much differently.

frank broke his wing late he was owned prior to that. I say frank puts up a better fight but could care less for either. Diaz would be nice even though he is a few steps above le.

Neither please

I would say Smith, just because I can bet money it will be worth watching however it goes. More then likely 1 of them won't make it to the end.

Lawler, Maneof, and the loser of Shields/Hendo all make more sense to me.

I'm positive I've never actually rooted for either Diaz boy. Yet, I would pull for Nick in this fight. What makes me dislike Le so much?

I would rather see Le vs. Manhoef but if its down to these two i would rather see him fight Shamrock. It would just be a far more competitive and entertaining fight. Le beats the piss out of Smith in a rematch just like the first fight but probably does not get caught.

frank

Le vs. Manhoef

Frank by far. The first fight was great.

Le Smith was a onesided affair that saw the guy who was dominating totally gas and then get caught. Though I do imagine that rematch looks much different.

I really hope that whomever Le fights he shows that the fight with Smith was an aberration. That was a poor effort.

I agree. Give Le Diaz or Manhoef. He beat the snot out of both of them. I don't even count the Smith win and I wish some of you would stop with the broken arm thing. Cung embarrassed Frank and beat him the whole fight in every way. He got tired and got caught at the end of the fight and that was it. Frank should stay retired unless he wants a fight with Hershel or Nagy maybe. I could see him beating Nagy.

No way Le makes it to the end of the fight with Manhoef. Melvin via brutal KO.

You must be a big Cung fan if you thought that fight was great. It was just as one sided as the Le/Smith fight. I think Cung could hang with Manhoef all day long. Cung isn't gonna stand there like Lawler or any of his other opponents. If he gets a strike in then I can see him KOing Cung, but I think Cung would take him out. Melvin has a suspect chin and it wouldn't take long for Cung to push that button. I think Diaz has a better chance.

Comparing Cung vs Shamrock and Cung vs Smith.

1)The Shamrock fight had a huge advantage in that Cung was actually in shape, the Smith fight scores much lower cause he gassed so darn early. Cung showed a real lack of respect for the sport in that fight.

2)the Shamrock fight was for a title, and thus gets bonus points

3)The shamrock fight was also filled with tons of gamesmanship from both sides, Frank got a little carried away with some of his antics but it did lend a little excitement to the fight.

4)The Le leg sweep and then walk away vs Frank was classic, an interesting element that was absent in the Smith fight.

5)After Le had taken control at the beggining of the 3rd round, Frank mounted a real offensive through the middle portion of the round and had Le in trouble, but Le answered late in the round again turning the tide. And this is the key ingrediant in a great fight, back and forth momentum swings. The Smith fight had an out of shape fighter who gassed, big difference.

Le Shamrock was a much better fight.
