Cung Le KOs Franklin in First Round

Completely ignoring my concerns that he had so much on his plate that it might affect his performance, Cung Le knocked out Rich Franklin in the first round of their match. Le called it a “lucky punch.” I was surprised to learn that he had a damaged foot – it was never mentioned in his video. As impressive as his knockout may have been, I am amazed and inspired that a guy in his 40s could celebrate like this. Le also won an additional $40K for a knockout of the night bonus.
