[dan the man 67]

Who do you pick?

[Ubermensch]

Anderson but it would not be as easy as every one thinks he would do way better than Cote did on standup. Anderson would need to take him down because Cung is too advanced of a standup fighter IMO for Anderson. I think Cung would get tooled by Anderson on the ground.

[Noise Chopped]

This dream match has already been made, I think. And I see Anderson destroying Cung. I think people are really riding this Cung Le train hard, hah. Don't get me wrong, I think he's great (can't help but root for the guy) - And yea, his stand up is world class. But I don't see the jump from annihilating Fryklund, and a broken down Frank Shamrock as an indication that he's at Anderson's level.

And lets be honest, Anderson was toying with Cote. I don't think Cung's conditioning could hold up if Anderson took him to the third round, I don't think Cung could knock Anderson out, or submit him. Could I see Anderson knocking him out? Yea. Submitting him? Yea. Winning a (5 round) decision? Yea.

I still want to see more of Cung before I go putting him above or even on par with the likes of Anderson.

This would be a boring fight imo, at least for the first couple rounds, but after Anderson got warmed up he would start landing some good punches and knees and take it via tko or decesion.

The fans!
Personally, I think this would be one of the biggest challenges to Anderson and a five star slobberknocker if he decided to stand with Le.

This would be the first "SUPER FIGHT" that Dana could hype for Anderson, aside from possibly Hendo, and this is IMO, the first ultra hyped fight of Anderson's reign.

I really don't know how to explain it, but Le is the first real "sexy" and impressive opponent that has that superstar ability and could possibly dethrone Anderson.

Franklin wasn't at Anderson's level and really, Hendo got owned.

I think Le would prove to make a great main event opponent to Silva. Though Silva wins any way he wants.

yeah, you know, like Sarah Palin was a "sexy" choice for VP, Le might not be able to defeat Silva, but the fight and appeal to see it and the hype would be really exciting and alluring, you know, sexy!

Agreed. Trading with Le would be very dangerous for Anderson. Cung Le is one of the best strikers out there.

Silva would want to take Le down and submit him, but taking Le down is not a simple task by any means. Very close fight, I'd give it to Anderson, but only by a slight edge.

If you are straight (and I am not judging anyone's sexual orientation), the word "sexy" should NEVER be used to describe another man, in any situation.

Just my 2 cents.
