http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/...6034&zoneid=13 Frank Shamrock, in defense of his Strikeforce middleweight championship a week ago, gave fans exactly what they wanted, other than a victory. He stood and went toe-to-toe, blow-for-blow with San Shou champion Cung Le. Unfortunately for him, Shamrock not only lost his title, but the use of his right forearm for the near future. Blocking several of Le’s powerful kicks with his forearms, Shamrock had to block one too many and ended up suffering a broken right ulna. It was evident near the end of the third round, when Le threw a left head kick that Shamrock obviously had time to put his arm up to block, but instead opted to brace himself and move into the kick. Not the optimum defense for kicks as powerful as Le’s. The injury required six screws and a metal plate to repair. It will keep him out of action for upwards of eight months, depending on how his body heals up. He is not deterred though. Shamrock's camp told MMAWeekly.com that he does plan to fight again, although the plate will have to be removed before he can re-enter the ring.
The LEGEND of Cung Le GROWS!!!:clap: ... "He NEVER Loses...His Kicks SHATTER Forearms..." REED:cheer:
I agree, he didn't even try to win the Cung Le fight. He is too bone headed to fight smart, he should just retire.
I know this, they both said they knew Cung was better standing and Cung admitted Frank was superior on the ground. Yet he never tried to take it there. At one point he could have taken Cungs back but he let him out and decided to trade some more. I was at the fight live, the crowd was disgusted with Frank and was screaming and pleading for him to shoot, which he didn't do.
He had his back and almost got Sansho throwed for his effort and maybe its a possibility he could taken him down when they sparred:dunno:
