I was shocked to see Cung Le talking on the UFC pay-per-view, repping his movie “Fighting”. And noteworthy that Goldberg mentioned Le’s fight with Shamrock, but did not mention that he was the Strikeforce middleweight champion (for the moment). Also that when Bruce Buffer announced the movie as a sponsor, he didn’t mention Cung Le at all.
