Cung Le vraagt voor release UFC contract - wil naar Bellator

Cung Le was oorspronkelijk voor negen maanden geschorst. De reden hiervoor was dat ze sporen van Human Growth Hormone (HGH) in zijn bloed gevonden hadden. Echter door foutjes in de procedure is deze schorsing weer ingetrokken.

Cung Le zei het volgende:

"I'd just prefer not to be part of the UFC anymore. I'd prefer not to put the effort into something I don't believe in anymore. If I would fight for anyone, it would be Scott Coker. I would not fight for the UFC after what happened."

Le's manager, Gary Ibarra, zegt:

"His career will forever have something of an asterisk next to it, due to something that is no fault of his own. Does anybody deserve that? No, absolutely not. I would hope the UFC would understand that and recuse themselves from further drug testing when there are no athletic commissions."
