Bruce Lee was a dedicated martial artist and instructor who became a film star, not a film star who dabbled in martial arts. e.g. Steve McQueen, James Coburn.
Whether he would do well in a boxing ring or octagon is open to debate s.
Open to debate? The general consensus of opinion seems to be one sided. When any MMA champ is asked how Lee would fair if he fought in MMA the answer is without exception he would be a champ if he chose.
Because they know what Lee could do and did.
Still no proof. Video cameras have been around a long time. Where's the evidence of their amazing abilities? Karate/Kung Fu are bull**** martial arts. That's why you can't back up your claims.
I don't need to be an expert in shit to know it when i see it pal.
You need to be taken off life support because you are brain dead! What part about EDUCATING yourself dont you understand???? No martial artist experts are going to want to kill a man for no reason and film themselves or have themselves filmed just to show idiots like you how dangerous it is!! There are reasons why uncontrolled sparring is banned in Martial Arts schools because of serious harm and death!! You go find a martial artist expert who is willing to use just ONE-THIRD striking force on your Trachea and you will be gasping for breath and in serious trouble! And throats are not chins, they dont have iron throats - EVERYONE has a weak throat!! Again, Boxers learn how to box, Martial Artists learn how to kill! Get a ***ing education. You have the nerve to argue when you know nothing and keep flaunting how you know nothing with everything you write in this thread!!

I think Lee would've been a big fan of MMA and probably succeeded as an athlete. IMO he would've been very difficult to hit cleanly. My only doubt is his ability to take punishment; and his groundwork.
looks like a demonstration / exhibition to me. bruce lee was an actor. believe me, you'd have no idea who he was if it wasn't for his movies, his untimely death, the lack of footage, and the perfect storm that allowed him to become a fighting legend without actually ever fighting anybody.
kimbo slice in his prime would manhandle this guy. absolutely manhandle him.
bruce lee on the heavybag, lul. "here, let me flail around on this thing for a while. ok i'm tired. you try."
You're acting like he looks like a scrub on the bag, and this one video clip is the be all end all of everything Bruce Lee.
Also, about the sparring footage. He's quick as a cat, and that's him not even going 100%, and going all out. I'd say he'd be an absolute monster in combat sports, and if he trained specifically for MMA, or whatever other combat sport, he'd be at ht elite level, and probably champ of whatever division he was in. Hard work and dedication mixed with his physical tools, and he'd be a champ, no doubt.
bruce lee was a street fighter at absolute best. an actor at worst.
no weight classes in a street fight, guy. kimbo slice would f#cking destroy this clown. rip his soul.
Rip Kimbo but didn't he lose to that dude in like 11 seconds? He was all brute, a well schooled technician could capitalise on his recklessness. He's used to fighting random people off the street fgs
