Cung Le said he’s waiting to hear whether his next career move involves fighting or coaching. At the moment, he doesn’t know which one it will be. Le (9-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC), who his past November knocked out ex-champ Rich Franklin , said he still wants to fight Michael Bisping . And until recently, he was under the impression he would do so. “Before [Bisping's] last fight, my camp was talking to (UFC matchmaker) Joe (Silva) about a potential matchup, and they said that if he wins, it looks good,” Le told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). “Next thing I know, two or three days ago, I saw that Bisping was going to fight in October in England. “Even though I’m not 100 percent, I wasn’t 100 percent in China, either. If they really needed me, they would have called me. I thought we were working something out, but obviously, the next day, the word was that they were targeting me to coach.” The former Strikeforce champ might be referring to an MMAjunkie.com report earlier this month that stated he was targeted to coach on “The Ultimate Fighter: China,” which is slated to debut in November and run for 12 episodes. Featherweight, lightweight and welterweight divisions are soon to audition for the show. Le thought that was the answer he was waiting for, but as he said, “no one’s called me.” “So I caught (UFC President) Dana (White) today (at the UFC Fan Expo), and he told me I’m on his call list,” he added.
