Cung Le got dominated in the first 2 rounds. But with control, not with damage. At the start of round 3, Cung Le did more in less than 2 minutes of domination than GSP did in 2 rounds of domination. That is probably where GSP needs his work. Effective offense to go with his elite takedowns and ground control. If he capitalized on the ground, Cung would have had no chance to come back in the 3rd.
Cung Le looks a bit uneasy. Hopefully this doesn't affect his performance.

Cung Le got dominated in the first 2 rounds. But with control, not with damage. At the start of round 3, Cung Le did more in less than 2 minutes of domination than GSP did in 2 rounds of domination. That is probably where GSP needs his work. Effective offense to go with his elite takedowns and ground control. If he capitalized on the ground, Cung would have had no chance to come back in the 3rd.
