Cung Le destroys Frank Shamrock at EliteXC/StrikeForce
Posted Byi steroids
Today was another good day for IS MMA predictions, as we predicted earlier this week, Cung Le beat Frank Shamrock by KO , by the looks of the fight, our “Frank Shamrock is washed out” comment was absolutely right. Frank made the best punching bag you can imagine for Le, standing up for 3 rounds and getting destroyed. Being an idiot with a bad game plan does seem to run in the family! Just as Ken Shamrock lost by standing up in fights where he was a worse striker instead of going to the ground, so does Frank Shamrock. The latest lost by Frank Shamrock is also going to facilitate the fight of: Brother vs. Brother: Ken Shamrock vs. Frank Shamrock, which is probably going to be a double joke in the industry.
Cung Le vs. Frank Shamrock play by play:
The fight start with Le throwing a lot of his kicks, keeping Frank Shamrock at a distance. After an unsuccessful takedown attempt by Frank, Le continued to pummel Shamrock with kicks while Frank tried to work a few jabs to get on the inside for a takedown.
Round 1: 9-9 (even)
The second round went much better for Le, as he starting throwing some hard leg and hand combinations. In the his one and only attempt for a takedown, Shamrock failed! For the rest of the round, Frank was literally pummeled by kicks.
Round 2: 10-8 (Le)
The last round of the fight was really the exciting moment. Cung Le came out of a huge amount of kicks and punches, even some amazing kick/punch combinations. Towards the end of the round, Le seemed tired from all the kicks and Shamrock jumped at the opportunity with a few punches and a knee. However, Cung Le survived and fought back. Landing a high kick that almost KOed Shamrock, throwing him back. Cung Le continued with non stop punches and kicks, finishing the round with a huge high kick to Frank’s face.
As the clock ran out, and the round ended. Frank Shamrock fell to the ground in pain and could not continue. It seemed his right arm was broken.
Winner: Cung Le - 3R 5:00 by KO
Steroids in Cung Le vs. Frank Shamrock:
Of course no IS blog entry would be done without steroid use accusations. Looking at the fight, it doesn’t seem like Cung Le is on a steroid cycle right now, but it it likely and possible he was using some short half life anabolic steroids like Anavar or Winstrol during his training. He doesn’t have the human growth hormone (HGH) gut or look, so that’s something we are ruling out. On the other hand, Frank Shamrock looked very slow, just like his brother Ken Shamrock. Ken Shamrock uses steroids on a regular basis, that’s the claim Frank makes as to his low confidence. However, we saw a very weak and non-confident Frank Shamrock in the fight today. Is it possible that Frank Shamrock was weak because he had to get off his steroid cycle in order not to test positive for anabolic steroids during the testing. It does seem like he was still using human growth hormone (HGH) but he was probably off his testosterone propionate with anavar.

Bob Sapp, lost again, but this time in the USA. It seems it’s true that steroids, human growth hormone and washed up NFL players really don’t add up well. Jan Nortje TKOed Bob Sapp within 55 seconds in the 1st round of the strikeforce MMA event. The more pathetic part was that Jan Nortje has got to be the crappiest MMA fighter in the world, maybe top 500 haha. His record before Sapp was 1-9, 1 win and 9 losses in MMA, the guy was a walking joke. Nortje actually lost to Gary Goodridge via an armbar (that’s right via an armbar!), Gary Goodridge probably has the BJJ skills of a 5 year old.
