Cung Le vs Anderson Silva? who wins and why?

Question

i think they are similar weight class, so they might be matched up if cung goes to ufc, who do you think will win it?

Answer 1

Anderson Silva all the way.

Cung Le is good, but way too overhyped. Rewatch that fight with Shamrock, Shamrock made a ton of tactical errors that Silva wouldn't.

Not to mention Le has a habit of keeping his hands low, which would be a mistake against Silva.

A fight between the two would end with Silva pushing Le into the fence, getting him into a Thai clinch, and destroying him with knees.

Aside from Shamrock, Le hasn't fought anyone, I wasn't impressed with his win over Shamrock, because every time Frank put Le's back near the cage, Shamrock would back pedal instead of using the cage against him.

Also I don't Le's sprawl being that great, considering NO ONE HAS SHOT ON HIM. I don't see Silva shooting anyway. I see him working him into the cage, getting clinch and obliterating him, I think he is stronger than Le, is a WAY more accurate and technical striker. Le has great kicks, but his hands aren't that great, his head movement is minimal to none, and against a guy like Silva, who is laser sharp accurate, it would be a world of trouble.

I like Le a lot, but he beat Frank Shamrock, who hasn't fought anyone of note since he came back into fighting.

He still has a long way to go up against a top 10 guy before this argument can even be considered.

Le is also 36, and would need 3 or 4 fights against top people to even be ready for Silva

Answer 2

Silva, both great strickers Cung Le more than Anderson probably, but I know that in the blink of an eye Anderson can take Kung to the ground and make him Tap.

Answer 3

cung takes it as his striking is slightly better and

the spider man wont be able to take him down

as cungs sprawl is very good so there s no

way of the spidermans superior jits to come into play.

Answer 4

Anderson Silva ftw! He'd get Le into his clinch and finish him off with knees.
