Cung Le Wins!

I just wanted to congradulate Cung Le on his impressive victory over Ken Shamrock last night to win the EliteXC middleweight division belt and was the first person to win by interround stoppage due to doctor's orders under modern MMA rules. Le snapped Shamrock's arm in two during the third round with a roundhouse kick.

I do have to take issue with a MMAWeekly.com who gave the first round to Shamrock. I think Shamrock took the most damage and Le exhibited better control and dominance over the round.

One other thing about Le. I am a huge fan of his, but last night showed a major weekness in that he didn't demonstrate any knockout power against Shamrock. Every major kick and punch landed, but other than a couple of cuts and bruises, Shamrock was taking the damage pretty well.
