You can watch the press conference live at ufc.com right now, Cung Le should be there. To his defense he fought a good fight and hurt Silva early, but he got demolished by Wanderlei later in the 2nd.
Le ate a few solid knees while in a headlock that broke his nose, then punches during the scramble, then he shot in for a single and got hammer fists dropped on his temple. Joe Rogan said the stoppage might have been a bit early, but he didn't say anything about it after Cung Le sat there for a minute and looked like he didn't know who he was, with a broken face to boot.
Cung Le always looked lean and strong at 185 but as soon as I saw him I knew he wasn't in the same shape and tired after the 1st round. But he showed amazing toughness and wasn't going to quit at the end.
I did not think I would ever see those knees again. Now that's vintage Wanderlei. The way he swings his leg allll the way backwards and smashes the knees from the clinch right into his victims face.
