I'm a big Cung Le fan. I also hope he really steps up his level of competition in the very near future. Frank IMO is ducking him as Cung has repeatedly asked for this fight and Frank has repeatedly said Cung needs more seasoning and would like to fight him late 2008/early 2009. Frank keeps campaigning for the rematch against Renzo Gracie or a fight against his "brother", Ken.
Cung did look a little gassed at the end of this fight with Morgan. But he took home the W. Part of the reason I hope Cung gets going up in competition is because he's not getting any younger. He's 34 already.
I'd really like Cung to move out of the Strikeforce org and test his skills elsewhere. EliteXC, K-1 Heroes, HDNet, WEC, or even UFC. The talent base in Strikeforce is just too shallow. I'd love to see Cung end up against a Ninja Rua, Robbie Lawler, Mayhem Miller, Frank Trigg, or a Tim Kennedy in one of the non-Zuffa orgs.
