Cung Le really wanted a fight with Michael Bisping , but with the potential bout now a no-go, the UFC middleweight is hoping to focus his efforts on China. More specifically, he’s hoping a potential coaching gig on “The Ultimate Fighter: China,” which MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) recently reported as likely, comes to fruition. Le, a longtime Sanshou kickboxer, believes a footprint in the country could be massive for the UFC. “I’m here to help out any way I can with UFC in China,” Le recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio. “I think it’s a huge market, and once they break into there, it’s truly going to be global.” “TUF: China” debuts in November, and a live finale is targeted for March in Macau. Producers are searching for UFC hopefuls from the featherweight, lightweight and welterweight divisions who speak Mandarin and are of Chinese descent. No head coaches have been formally announced the show, though Le (9-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) appears to be a frontrunner.
