Cung Le upsets Frank Shamrock; Strikeforce signs with NBC
Cung Le won a wild battle with Frank Shamrock in the main event of the latest Strikeforce show, which aired last Saturday night on Showtime.
Le clobbered Shamrock with kicks and punches into the third round before Shamrock mounted a furious comeback. Le stopped the flurry with a pair of head kicks, and Shamrock could not respond.
Strikeforce also made headlines earlier in the week by signing a deal with NBC to produce shows on Saturday nights. You better set your TiVo, because it will air at 2 in the morning after “Showtime at the Apollo.”
Gilbert Melendez is the Strikeforce lightweight champion after a dominating victory over Gabe Lemley.
In other action, Drew Fickett beat Jae Suk Lim with the guillotine; Wayne Cole beat Mike Kyle with an armbar in 42 seconds; and Joey Villasenor knocked out Ryan Jensen.
