Elite XC/Strike Force Card Tonight on Showtime
FRANK SHAMROCK -185 over Cung Le
I think there is great value here, i thought line would be around -350. Opened in -250/275 range. I ahve no idea why this line a has dropped. Cung le is a proven winner. However. his MMA career is limited and he has been hand fed mediocre strikers that will stand with him. The fyklund fight was a joke and he looked ok against Sam Morgan. I have seen Morgan fight numerous times (once live) no elite fighter would let him out of the first round.
Only concern is shamrock coming off ACL surgery, but he fought Baroni when the thing was blown and completley dominated. Shamrock is up there in age, but so is cung and shamrock has taken minimal damage over the last decade. He is well known for his conditioning and game planning and will be fully prepared for this fight as it has been 2 years in the making. Frank may play Cungs game for one round and try to put on a show for the fans and/or prove a point. But any sign of danger and this fight is going to the ground where it ends TKO or Sub.
My prediction early 2nd. mid third at the latest.
(Although this is one of my larger wages of the year, my track record posting here is less than stellar, so bet at your own risk)
