Cung Le(kung fu) in UFC?

I understand Cung Le is undeafeted in San Shou. No question that's a good accomplishment. I'd still like to see him take on some of the top fighters in K-1 w/ K-1 rules. After that then go to MMA.

I don't know why he is fighting in mma. Those pre-madonnas outlawed all wrestling except for that which falls under bjj. He's pretty limited in what he can do.

These are just UFC rules but number 9 supports my point.

Yeh, they instituted that rule so that kung fu couldnt compete in MMA, it has nothing to do with state athletic commissions and fighter safety and **** like that.

EE-vil conspiracy I tells ya. To keep kung fu down. Oh the times....:5obsessed

Maybe they should arrange competition where you can only use foul tactics?
Any ordinary punch/kick/takedown/whatever and presto, instant disqualification.

it looks like there's been a misunderstanding.

This is San Shou:

This is kung fu:

that'd be great except he outweighs Buakaw by about 45lbs
