Frank Shamrock or Cung Le vs. Baroni at Strike Force

Word on the local street is that Frank Shamrock and Phil Baroni will be fighting in a Strike Force event in San Jose CA. It's either those two or Cung Le and Phil Baroni.

Good fight for Shamrock...Cung Le will get owned I think.

Doubtful, Baroni is a boxer with poor stamina who has jumped onto MMA. Been in MMA for a few years now and is still a boxer with poor stamina. Only problem I see Cung Le having is if Baroni attempts any type of takedown or ground offense, which he won't. I never really understand the obsession with Baroni, he's not really impressive as a fighter. I just him see as a inshape Tank Abbott with equally as bad cardio.

It's weird how American's depict fighters if Mirko Crocop or any 1-dimensional non-Asian fighter that comes from a kickboxing organization comes to MMA, they automatically become "bangwagon" status and can beat the current champ with ease. But when an Asian fighter comes in who is more decorated in stronger level competition, he automatically becomes a can even when fighting low level competition.

Why in god's name did you start this thread in the TUF forum?

Why is this in the TUF forum?

Shamrock over Baroni by early sub or late TKO...

Cung Le over Baroni by TKO

Baroni has been in MMA for a long time. Just cause he likes to throw his hands doens't mean he's a boxer who just came into MMA.

1. This probably won't happen.
2. Cung Le will probably get owned by Baroni. He can take him down and rape him if he wants.
