Cung Le had eight MMA bouts, winning seven, wth every bout ending by KO. He is about to turn 39, so the need to fight as soon as possible is great. it does not look like it will happen.
Le has five movies coming out in the next year — the biggest a Universal Pictures film called “The Man With the Iron Fists”, starring Russell Crowe. At this point, as a burgeoning Hollywood commodity, Le isn’t exactly sure if and when he’ll fight again.
I’m doing well right now being in the films, Le said. A lot of people are telling me, ‘you should just retire, you’re not going to fight.’ Other people are saying ‘you got to fight.’ You can’t make everybody happy.
Just to see Russell Crowe work was amazing, and just to be a big part of the film was amazing. I think I had the third most working days out of the whole cast, and then I got to kill like 20 people. I feel blessed.
Le has been mentioned as a possible Superfight match up vs Anderson Silva.
I’m just honored to be brought up for the fight, he said after UFC 129 at the Rogers Centre. Anderson Silva is pound-for-pound the best fighter out there. I’m just honored, and I don’t know what else to say. For it to happen, just like Jerry Maguire said, ‘show me the money.’
When asked if a fight vs Silva, or anyone, migh happen in 2011 Le says, that would be impossible due to his demanding work load.
