Quick Jabs: Strikeforce 185lb Champion Cung Le has relinquished his title, the title he won from Frank Shamrock in March 2008. Le has never defended the title. He has been tied up with various outside film projects. Mayhem Miller and Jake Shields are expected to fight for the vacant belt this fall. Looks like the UFC isn’t the only ones with the Hollywood blues.
