If he wins tonight I will apologize for my years and years of Cung bashing. I like the guy just think he's super super over rated and Frank will expose him for what he is.
A decent fighter who became a world champ in an obscure sport by fighting B level fighters.
My thoughts on Cung were exactly the same as your's before tonight. But now after beating an opponent of Frank's caliber (and putting on a great show while at it) I gotta give him credit. This win has proven that Cung is indeed a legitimate and dangerous contender in MMA. Geez I was really expecting Frank to tool him.
He always talked about being a world champ etc. and never fought any one of importance. TO make it worse he looked gassed in a lot of his fights against people no one heard of
"I say he's top 3 at middle weight. I think he'd out-strike a guy like anderson silva or robbie lawler, but a lindaland gives him trouble."
No way. I think the guy proved a man to watch. But he is WAY small for 185, and I honestly think the real guys at 185 would run him over like a truck. Frank hurt him with a few shots, and Frank though sound technically isnt exactly known for his power.
I think he could eventually have a top 5 career at 170, but he is too small for 185.
