Scott Smith Upsets Cung Le

Cung Le smashed Scott Smith for almost 15 minutes before getting caught by a sneaky left hook that wobbled him. Smith jumped on Le and made sure to end the fight. Le looked great until that point of the fight - he was battering Smith with kicks and punches the entire fight. Le's defense was also very strong. He dodged almost everything Smith had to throw at him. The fight was all but wrapped up when Le got a little careless with his defense and even wasted a ton of energy picking up and slamming Smith for no reason. He paid dearly in the end by taking his first defeat. In other action, Jacare took out Matt Lindland in a great display of submission mastery. King Mo Lawal also won his fight and established himself as a top challenger in the light heavyweight and maybe even heavyweight division. All in all, things look great for Strikeforce as they have also recently announced signings of Dan Henderson and Bobby Lashley who are sure to make a big impact in the sport for the promotion.
