lol, that's brutal. Cung Le didn't start fighting until sometime partway through the 1st, and then he became EXHAUSTED super fast. I think from....whatever J-Mac was doing. Takedowns? Submission attempts? Missed punches? I donno, but he was winning by a bit up until he was exhausted, then he let J-Mac do whatever he wanted to him for the rest of the fight. FInally, J-Mac locked in an armbar and brutal Cung Le's brutal performance thank-Christfully came to an end.

lol, that's brutal. Cung Le didn't start fighting until sometime partway through the 1st, and then he became EXHAUSTED super fast. I think from....whatever J-Mac was doing. Takedowns? Submission attempts? Missed punches? I donno, but he was winning by a bit up until he was exhausted, then he let J-Mac do whatever he wanted to him for the rest of the fight. FInally, J-Mac locked in an armbar and brutal Cung Le's brutal performance thank-Christfully came to an end.
I am embarrassed for Cung Le and ManMMA on this day.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
