This is the only man to come from an traditional TMA sport, that he dominated with ease, challenge himself, step up into the largest MMA arena, and then become an undefeated MMA superstar.
He fought one the greatest MMA legends ever, winning with a viscous barrage of kicks, and retired untouched.
He has never been taken down in MMA or hurt, and retires with grace. Something I wish more Champions would do.
If Anderson, Machida, or Fedor retired right now, they would claim this spot, but Cung Le really knows he peaked, and will be remembered for the Champion he is, not some HL reel KO.
Great post!
very funny
No, clearly Bas Rutten accomplished more in MMA (not in Pancrase) than Cung Le.
He doesnt even have to fight to keep his title, thats how dominant he is.

LOL! How can you even put Bas Rutten and Cung Le in the same sentence. Cung Le was part of the largest MMA event ever held in the California.

Yes he is! He fought an aged Frank Shamrock and beat Sam Morgan!
Everyone knows Bas Rutten retired because he heard that Cung Le would be entering MMA.

Braziliabomber you may need to find a new place to do your interwebz!
He isn't retired. He is still Strikeforce champion.
He has mastered the art of fighting without fighting.

sanshou is not a traditional tma sport. it is a recent martial art developed by the chinese government to give the chinese a chance against the thais in kickiboxing contests. the training is modern and 'alive' rather than traditional, dead pattern, and stylistically rather than functionally based.
I would have bet money the TS join date was in 2009.
Probably the great champ to never defend the belt correct.

he isn't retired, but he did give up his belt. so one way or another, he is no longer the champion.
