I had no idea that Cung Le could wrestle so well.

He actually was a wrestler in college even before he got into Sanshou. You see very little of that in him today, but he definitely used it to his advantage when executing throws in Sanshou. He’s got a sweet fireman’s carry I’ve seen on a few occasions.
