Former Strikeforce middleweight champion, Cung Le has revealed he won’t be returning to the cage this side of the new year as his movie career continues to kick on over in the Far East, explaining he’s being pulled in every possible direction at the minute. This from ESPN:
Le says for him to continue fighting it would have “to be soon because the clock is ticking.” Yet when asked if that means it would happen in 2011 he says, “that would be impossible” due to his demanding work load.
“I’m doing well right now being in the films,” Le said. “A lot of people are telling me, ‘you should just retire, you’re not going to fight.’ Other people are saying ‘you got to fight.’ You can’t make everybody happy.”
Smith was last seen in action back in June, defeating Scott Smith via knockout, avenging the only defeat of his mixed martial arts career. The big question is whether he’ll figure in the UFC’s long-term plans or will he slip into the sunset as his movie career develops?
