Anderson Silva-esque. He was tagging Shamrock at will, anywhere he wanted, whenever he wanted.
Cung also evades punches so well and has excellent footwork.
If there was ever a match that needs to happen at MW other than Silva-Henderson....it is now Cung Le vs Anderson Silva.
Discuss.
Watching the fight again....it seems to me that the difference between Cung and Anderson is most definately killer instinct. Silva is much more dangerous and could finish a fight at any moment.
Another random thought....anyone else think that Cung is a stylistic nightmare for Filho?
I mean if he fought Cung like he did Sonnen he would surely get KOed. Any doubt on this? The Filho in PRIDE was a beast(roids). But no way he beats Cung without cheating.
cung is very good, but anderson is just on another level.
I agree. Silva has the power, reach, juijitsu(if it ever comes to that after he gets rocked), and not to mention knees (of which Shamrock was close to implementing 3 times) to give Cung hell.
But I still want to see them fight.
Accurate, yes. "Unorthodox" yes. (In fact his kicking arsenal is actually "orthodox" MA, but in MMA it isn't.)
Anderson-like? Not imo.
