that's not the point, what I meant was that his primary style of fighting is san shou kickboxing. AS athletic as that style of fighting is, it is way too one-dimensional to dominate MMA. MMA fighters are used to the whole package: Striking, kickboxing, grappling, ground and pounding, submissions, etc. Cung Le is undoubtedly the best at what he does, but in MMA, it's a completely different ballgame. I'm not saying he will do bad or wish him bad luck (in fact I wish him the best success), but like I said earlier in other post, unless he does find a way to adapt to MMA fighting, he will get PWNED. He cannot simply rely on his SS kickboxing skills against fighters like Ortiz, Liddell, Jackson, Cro Cop, Wanderlei, Nog, etc. All it would take is one simple takedown and GNP and then it's over.
i believe he is a purple belt in bjj, i am pretty sure his takedown skills are pretty good since he was a state champ wrestler in highschool, as for fighting wanderlei, liddell, jackson, cro cop, and nog, they are in a totally different weight class, cung le will be mostly fighting in the 185 pounds area, so he will mostly face the like of Rich Franklin, Henderson, Minowa, Bustamante, Baronio, Ninja, and Filho
