Unbelievable! Sakuraba lost this fight! Betting sites will explode!
Another controverisal #1 contendership fight by The Sandmen. In fairness, Sakuraba was on quite the winning streak before this fight, and Le hadn't faced someone with the (supposed) ability to neutralize his ridiculous stand up.
3 kicks fucked Sakuaba's legs up enough to end the fight...Cung is REALLY making me look bad. He's not over-powered. Really, he isn't! He's about the 3rd lowest rated guy on ManMMA for Christ sake!
Anyways, Le with the win. We'll see how that pans out.
