“I knew it…I heard the bone snap…they showed me the X-Ray after the fight and I saw it was broken in half.â€
Newly crowned Strikeforce Middleweight Champion Cung Le discusses the devastating kick that broke Frank Shamrock’s arm - and ended the fight after three rounds.
Thank you God!…Now I hope frank will shut up!
So is Lawler up next for Le?
i was at this event. it was insane, great fight!!
its a good thing the fight was stopped.. It looked like shamrock was getting upset for a minute and got Le dazed..
Just got off the phone with Frank’s doctors best friends brother in laws cousins girl friends ex boyfriend that knows a guy who use to train with Frank. He said Frank’s arm hurts. I’m glad big mouth lost.
If anyone thinks shamrock stopped fighting cause his arm i beg to differ! He was knocked silly by the last 2 head kicks and was on queer street! even at the bell he needed help to his corner and just wanted to lay down, it wasnt cause of his arm! sure his arm was broke but his head wasnt on straight either!
From what I hear, people are putting this fight in the same boat as “Bonner/Griffin I”. That is a good boat to be in. It is too bad that Frank has the same big mouth as Ken, because he definately has something his brother doesn’t anymore- TALENT! I am really happy for Cung Le and hope he has a long reign, and hope he desimates Lawler.
Sounds like an awesome fight! I hate I missed it. Hopefully I can catch the replay here soon.
I still don’t get why Frank didn’t grab one of those crescent kick and go for a take down. I know he want to stand up and trade with him but man if you can’t hang then take the dude down…too much pride and too big a mouth = broken arm
great fight to bad franks jaw didn t break too
Did they reveal a broken arm during the event? My dvr boned me by quitting after you see Le screaming in victory. Dammit!
Hi Mike, thanks for stopping by. They said he had suffered an arm injury and was unable to continue and it was clear it was broken based on the kick locations. It was later confirmed via Xray.
