Le beat Shamrock, just like I said!

Woo, I called it.

What a fight! The crowd was pumped, and they were really going for it.

Both fighters looked great, I thought. Frank decided to stand, which was kind of like signing his own death warrant (who knows, maybe it was some kind of insurance plan for him if he lost… “Well, I played his game, so…”) and Le was able to pick him apart for the most part. Still, Shamrock landed a couple of nice punches and looked pretty good.

The stage is set for a monsteriffic rematch on the second CBS / Elite XC show, which should be another classic. Expect Frank to spend the whole fight working for a takedown and some kind of nasty, quick-fight-ending anklelock if you ask me.
