Who is next in line for Cung Le? Who is next for Frank Shamrock?

Le is borderline top 10. He's not up there yet, but he could be with one more win. I'm thinking that Le might face Shamrock again, or he could possibly fight Kala Kolohe Hose or even Robbie Lawler from EliteXC. I can't think of too many more compelling options. Maybe Mayhem or Trigg even.

if cung cleans up his game and gets more techincal, holds his hands up, doesnt strike flat footed. Gets some more experience then maybe he could be top 10, but at this point no.

looks like he should be a welterweight to me, he looks small at middlewieght.

Cung is not in my top 10 at all.

Franky Sham is arguably top 15, as he hasn't beaten a top 10 fighter since 1999.

1 more win absolutely does not put Cung in the top 10 unless it is against a Lawler, Trigg, Mayhem, etc.

He could win his next 5 in a row but unless he beats top 10 talent, or multiple top 20's, depending on how the rest of the top MW's fare, he will always be outside the top 10 in my eyes.

He could take Alves, Rich Franklin, and IMO 1 day he can take A Silva, but as of now, he is not Top 10, probably 13 or 14th.

I dont even like Cung Le lol... He's quick, he's crafty, but he's got no power behind what he throws, he looks lazy when he kicks. top 20...not top 10 just yet

Cung is definatly a world class striker, and he could be good,but he needs to hurry; he is 35 years old

No hes not top ten, Yushin Okami isnt even top ten IMO, worldwide this division has a wealth of talent. If cung le can beat robbie lawler or kazuo misaki, then hell be in my top ten.
