Cung Le requested his release from the UFC on Wednesday in an interview with Josh Gross on his podcast. The request comes as a result of the way the UFC handled his post-UFC Fight Night 48 drug test which initially claimed he tested positive for elevated levels of growth hormone.
On Gross’ podcast, Le outlined his issues with the UFC. He stated that he had not spoken with the UFC since a Dana White phone call to Le where they advised he was suspended due to the initial post-fight test results. Further communications occurred through Le’s reps and UFC legal counsel.
Payout Perspective:
The Le announcement is somewhat of a surprise but one can only speculate as to his reasons for wanting out of the UFC. Could this be the pre-cursor to a potential lawsuit against the UFC? Or, is it him trying to break free and attempting to go to Bellator and reunite with Scott Coker? It’s not a stretch to say that Le’s relationship with the UFC is strained and it would be hard to foresee both parties working together in the future (i.e., Le fighting on a UFC card). Yet, Le was a fighter that the UFC could utilize to help with its Asian expansion efforts. We shall see if the UFC grants his wish and what that means after Le leaves.
Ahahahahahahahaha
Cung le must wait for reebok money in the ufc hahahahaha….ufc fears viacom
Cung has escaped a dictator regime of communists before hahahahah he knows a shit world when he is in it. Move on
Le wants out because he cant beat anyone. Finishing his contract means getting killed and being a free agent with no value and a huge losing streak. Even while roided to the gills he made Bisping of all people look like the greatest athlete in the world. If he can go to BMMA and slaughter bums he could make more money and hide the fact he is a has been and con all the pro wrestling fans who watch Bellashit!
