On Monday, UFC President Dana White told MMAjunkie.com Le would be a good fit for “TUF: China” and said there was “a real good chance” that he would lead a squad of fighters hoping to secure a UFC contract. UFC officials recently put out the word that the promotion is holding auditions this month for featherweight, lightweight and welterweight talent to try out for the show, which will air on the Chinese-language Liaoning TV. Auditions are being held in Beijing, Singapore and Macao. The latter of those locations is where the Vietnam-born Le made his most recent appearance in the octagon. In the UFC’s first event held in China, he knocked out ex-champ Rich Franklin in the main event of UFC on FUEL TV 6. The former Strikeforce middleweight champion now is 2-1 in the promotion.
