Interview with StrikeForce’s Cung Le!

StrikeForce’s Cung Le Interview (Click me for audio!)

Fighttrader.com’s Matthew J. Swanson recently had the honor to talk MMA standout and now star of the silver screen, Cung Le.

First, Cung talks about how losing for the first time in anything (MMA or Kickboxing) in 15 years was a bigger learning experience than all of his wins put together.

He then talks about his fight with Frank Shamrock, how it felt to hear Frank’s arm break, and whether or not he’s disappointed that he won’t be able to fight him again, due to Shamrock’s recent retirement.

Later, Cung tells us, as as someone who admires his career both as filmmaker and a martial artist, how he thinks Bruce Lee would fare if he were in MMA today.

Cung then tells about all of the movies he has been working on, and when we can expect to see them in a theater near you! Also, he talks about how the challenges of filmmaking compares to the challenges of MMA.

Mr. Le is a star who kicks the crap out of people both in the cage and on the screen, but above all else, he is a true gentleman. Be sure to see his films, but also, if you haven’t already, watch a fight or two of his because it’s hard to find someone in MMA landing as many powerful kicks.
