Cung Le defends the Middleweight title!
These two go to war every time. I like this rivalry.
GSP was doing his thing, taking over the fight, and pretty much had the first round. And then Le kicked. That rocked him, then the round ended. Probably a GSP round, but the kick from Le evened things out pretty quickly. The second was a bit more of the same from GSP, but Le started kicking more. Not too much happened in the way of offence, with damage being a little bit minimal for a bit in a control battle, but come about the 4th, it picked up again, with Le tossing the kicks out like a madman, working the GnP, and tossing in some punches. GSP wore down and succumbed to the Cung, before finally falling in the 6th.
