Cung Le is a San Shou and kickboxing legend (re: old), who found a ton of success in the Strikeforce promotion. He would win the title only to vacate it shortly thereafter to avoid a fight with Jake Shields, and suffered a shocking loss to Scott Smith. Thankfully, Le avenged the Smith loss, and over a year later made his UFC debut against Wanderlei Silva. In that fight, he controlled much of the first round, only for Silva to catch him with strikes in the second frame, and finish him. Now, Le is looking for his first UFC win.
Cung Le vs Patrick Cote Odds;
Cung Le – (+180) @ Bovada.Lv
Patrick Cote – (-230) @ Bovada.Lv
After losing to Travis Lutter at the end of TUF 4, very few expected big things out of Patrick Cote. Instead, he managed to work his way to a title shot, only to suffer a knee injury in the third round against Anderson Silva. After some time off, he finally returned, only to lose consecutive one sided bouts to Alan Belcher and Tom Lawlor. Since then, he’s managed to rack up multiple wins outside of the promotion, and is now taking this fight as a (relatively) late replacement for Rich Franklin.
We’ve got two strikers here, and while Le is probably the better wrestler, I don’t see this one hitting the ground.
Despite both of them being strikers, they couldn’t be any different. Le throws a high volume of flashy and spinning kicks, sparingly using punches, albeit his hands aren’t that bad. Cote on the other hand is the total opposite. He’s not a great boxer, doesn’t throw a ton of kicks, but rather relies on his big one punch power, which has served him well against the likes of Kendall Grove and Drew McFedries.
The Patrick Cote vs Cung Le prediction is that the two engage in a standup battle, with Cote getting the knockout finish. Le is simply too old, and Cote has never had problems with his chin. With that said, it’s not outside the realm of possibilities that Le picks Cote apart, or even knocks Cote out with a head or body shot. Le has in fact looked good in all of his fights, and if he sucks Cote into his game, he could very well score his first UFC win. For that reason, at the +180 price, I actually like a tiny/small play on Le.
Cung Le vs Patrick Cote Odds Conclusion: Cote has the age, but given the two should be engaging in a striking battle, Cung Le is worth a tiny/small (2 Unit) play at +200.
