Now if Shamrock decides to simply stand with Le? This will confirm my theory. I'm thoroughly convinced that if Shamrock takes this to the ground? It will be a short night for Le.

Then be prepared Krav. I have no doubt that Frank is going to stand with him. Sure, he's very accomplished on the ground, but his forte has never been to initiate a takedown to get the fight to the ground. From his days in Pancrase to the UFC to his Strikeforce run, Frank always has complete confidence in his standup. He really feels that once he starts dominating Le's in standup, Le will be the one to take him down. And from there he'll sub him. I am 100% sure you will not see Frank initiate a takedown of any kind unless he gets hurt or is dramatically losing the standup.
