Frank Shamrock vs. Cung Le
When: Saturday, 9 p.m.
Where: HP Pavilion, San Jose
TV: Showtime
Outlook: Shamrock (24-8-1) puts his Strikeforce middleweight title on the line against Le (5-0).
Prediction: Le, a former San Shou world champion, has the advantage in the standup with his awesome array of kicks that he has adapted to MMA. But Shamrock has the edge on the ground with his submission skills and he has a ton of experience. Shamrock will test the waters in the standup before taking down Le and submitting him to retain his title.
Record in 2008 picks: 9-3
