Former Strikeforce Middleweight Champion, Cung Le has been a very busy man over the last few months as he was playing the role of Dana White during the shooting of the Ultimate Fighter China. Though he has been a busy man, he has kept up with the events going on in Las Vegas in regards to TRT. Le has stated that he wouldn't mind stepping in against Wanderlei Silva if Chael Sonnen needed to pull out due to the new TRT ban in the UFC. Cung Le and Wanderlei Silva first met at UFC 139 in 2011. Le was winning the stand up war until Silva caught him and earned the second round TKO. Le felt that he didn't put out his best work in that fight and would like a second chance to prove himself against Wanderlei Silva.
It has been nearly a year and a half since we have last seen Cung Le in action and that is sad considering the talent level that Cung Le is at. He is definitely one of the most elite strikers in MMA. Cung Le is now in that phase of his career in which he knows that he isn't going to be fighting for a championship again and all of his fights would purely be for entertainment purposes only. I wouldn't mind seeing the two of them compete again. Both men are on the final stretch of their careers and have nothing left to prove as they are both former champions of premier organizations.The match would be an easy sell for a UFC Fight Night Event like the rematch between Shogun Rua and Dan Henderson later this month.
