Le could not have been less impressive. This should have been an excellent fight, but only 1 dude came to fight. The other watched. Until he submitted. If I had Le, I would -1 his punches, -1 clinch striking and -1 clinch grappling, and +3 strength or aggression or KO resistance, or dodging. But I think those -1s (esp punching) will make him kick more.
