Former Strikeforce middleweight champion Cung Le, who relinquished his belt because of his extended time away from the cage to pursue his movie career, has announced that he will return to Strikeforce and fight on December 19th. He looks to be fighting Scott 'Hands of Steel' Smith.
An earlier rumor had Robbie Lawler fighting Smith for a third time in December. Nobody seemed at all interested in seeing that happen. This fight makes sense as it will be a stand up fight that will showcase both fighters strengths. Here are their records and key wins and losses:
Scott Smith
Pro Record: 16-6, 1 NC
Notable Wins: Jaime Jara (2 times & Elite XC Veteran), Tim Kennedy, Tait Fletcher (TUF Season 3 Veteran), Justin Levens, Pete Sell, Kyle Noke, Terry Martin, & Benji Radach
VS
Cung Le
Pro Record: 6-0
Notable Wins: Brian Warren (KOTC Veteran), Jason Von Flue (TUF Season 2 Veteran), Tony Fryklund, Sammy "The Squeeze" Morgan, & Frank Shamrock
The other question falls back to Robbie Lawler. When will we see this guy fight? Is an earlier speculation of a fight between him and seven time Brazilian Jiu Jitsu World Champion Ronaldo 'Jacare' Souza back on? Stay tuned. As always odds will be available at
