Le Wants Smith, and Soon
Jake Rossen Mar 11, 2010
Picking fights is a 50/50 proposition in which I somehow find a way
to be wrong a mathematically-implausible amount of the time. I’m
better at figuring which fights get made rather than who wins them.
The minute Cung Le lost his
legs at the hands of Scott Smith
last December, I figured Le wasn’t going to waste time asking for
rounds, four, five, and six.
Now Le tells MMATorch.com that he’d be “ready to go next month” if promoters wanted the rematch. “I'll be ready for whatever Strikeforce gives me, and hopefully it will be another shot against Scott Smith,” he says. “I believe that's the one fight I want right now.”
It took Le nearly two years to return to fighting after beating Frank Shamrock, but it’s evident that Smith catching him with a buzzer-beater has completely soured the milk in his Wheaties. These are the kinds of losses that bother you long after you’ve healed.
