I'm not sure whether Strikeforce has an exclusive contract with Le. I doubt it though. I'm sure part of why Cung will likely stay in Strikeforce is comfort level. For the most part, Strikeforce runs all their bigger shows in San Jose, which is Cungs home territory. He always has a ton of fans at those shows so the support is overwhelming. His gym is located in Milpitas, CA so all his students can always be there for him. They treat him with headliner status even though he has never beaten a top of the line opponent in MMA.
The only chance we could see one of those big fights would be another of the EliteXC-Strikeforce cross promotional events.
MTKrav might have a better perspective on how Cung Le is perceived in the Bay area.
