Francis Carmont isn't a name fighter so the UFC might not put Le against him, but it would be an interesting fight since Carmont is a very hot prospect at middleweight...and an exciting one at that.

The fight would determine just how good both fighters are.

While both Jared Hamman and Constantinos Philippou are good fighters, the winner would still be in need of a big-name opponent to have a win over—they'd need a true test.

Cung Le could provide them with this test.

A fight between Brian Stann and Cung Le would certainly be a memorable affair; it would have "fight of the night" written all over it, since both men are aggressive strikers.

Like with Brian Stann, a Cung Le-Chris Leben fight makes sense because both men are coming off a loss and both are two of the most entertaining fighters in the middleweight division.

Seeing Cung Le fight Michael Bisping or Jason Miller would be very intriguing since against Bisping it'd be a striking clinic, and against Miller it'd be the classic "striker vs. grappler" matchup.

It would also be quite a high-profile fight, since both Miller and Bisping have great name recognition.
