The US mainly. Immigration have actually told me I've been coming here too often for too long. This last year I spent about 6 months here (with immigration's blessing, my visa waiver stamps prove it!), I'm about ready to visit somewhere else.
Don't be surprised, I'm still into martial arts, I'm just a little less into shouting and screaming my opinions about the sport.
Question Authority. Question Society. Question Reality. Question Yourself. Question your conclusions, your judgments, your answers. Question this. If you question everything thoroughly enough, the truth will eventually hit you upside the head and you will know. But here’s a warning: It won’t be what you imagined. It won’t be even close.
if I actually could don't ya think someone was paying me a lotta money to do such a thing?

If this is representative for Cung Le's recuperation powers, it doesn't bode well for him:
The term "saved by the ref" comes to mind, he should have been counted out there.

I saw him (Cung) fight over here once, amazing After the first couple of clashes, the fear was so palpable in his opponent. Don't think that will happen this time however....

Was a damn good fight. Frank is a dumbass. His pride got the better of him and he kept it standing. He got one clinch and then had Cung down at one point and actually let him get up. That being said, Frank had Cung rocked hard in the 3rd round and could have finishd but wasted time showboating instead. Cung impressed me. Made me even more of a fan with his after fight comments. He seemed like a very excited kid in a candy store. Very likable guy. Even Frank was humble in defeat.

yeah, Frank declared in a pre-fight interview that he was going to beat Cung a his own game. Spent three rounds bouncing around and taunting. Surprisingly he did get in one good hit that could have ended it if he's just pushed a little harder (his arm may have been broken at that point, so maybe that's why he wasn't moving for the kill).
Overall really exciting fight though...and I agree, Cung couldn't have been more excited to win. "screaming like a Price is Right contestant" comes to mind.

Fan-Damn-Tastic! I did like how the takedown in the third round suddenly wiped the smile of Shamrock's face and made him fight VERY hard... and then WHAM, Roundhouse to the face and he's falling against the fence.
Good that it looked more like an exhibition or sparring session between champs instead of pitfight, with all the handshakes after good actions instead of jumping the other guy to finish it. The broken arm seemed to have happend from the double arm block against Les kicks.

You can tell which kick it was that broke the arm. Frank actually kept blocking and punching with it after it was broken!!! The first two rounds were pretty even except for the sweep kicks Cung landed. Frank was putting up a great fight and scoring some nice shots on his own. He has a rock head, Cung nailed him with some solid shots that Frank just walked through. I had Cung winning the first 2 rounds by a slim margin but I had Frank winning the 3rd round because he had Cung in danger and could have finished when he had him rocked. The third was really close, though because Frank did not do too much other than that flurry that put Cung on Queer Street. It would depend on the judging criteria of the organization. In UFC, Frank would have lost that round (3) but in Pride he would have won round 3.
Anyway, it was a great fight and I want to see a rematch!!!
