Bruce Lee vs Modern Martial Arts

Bruce Lee would get destroyed by anyone in his weight class currently in the UFC 99 times out of 100, he also stated in peint anyone who thought he could beat Mohammed Ali in a fight was wrong.

He was a great actor and pioneered blending martial arts, but he got his ass kicked by Gene LeBell which got him learning grappling just before he died. Idiots think he was GOAT because they don't know anything about actually fighting and buy into his films.
 
An MMA fighter would just take him down, it's really that simple.

I'm not doubting that in a purely stand up fight he would do very well and beat plenty of lower quality MMA fighters his weight, he had amazing stand up skills.

But nobody would bother standing with him, they are all trained in wrestling and bjj and they would take him down.

erm gene lebell makes it sound different
 
Ask Gene about how good a fighter Steven Seagal is and he will say nothing bad these days, but everyone knows he choked him out and Segal poo'd himself.
 
Lee would beat a lot of people but I think the top K1 fighters would give him a lot of trouble and even win. K1 is mixed martial arts so it counts I think.

Really, most people think Gene is full of the stuff that allegedly came out of Segal. I've never seen anything other than rumour. Yes, he may have choked him once or twice but wtf do you think is going to happen when you teach someone judo? The correct way to serve tea?
 
haah spoffle such a load of bs that video :p

why do you tihnk they have weight divisions ?

its simple bruce is fast but even with how fast he is a big boy smacks him hes out thats one punch not loads of lighting taps of kicks one punch out !

frank brunos punch for eg same as 45 mph sledge hammer and thats just someone who was reasonable boxer. someone like tyson or a proper fighter would play it cagey where him down while he dances about then slowly bring him down over longer rounds.
 
out of curiosity does anyone know how hard a heavyweight boxer punches compared to the average person? my google skills fail me
 
Well it depends how it all takes place too.. you seem to want Bruce to be resurrected from the dead without taking all the advantages that 40 years in the future would bring and place him in a UFC arena with a top heavyweight UFC fighter under UFC rules. You know what maybe he would lose but I'm still sure David would slay Goliath as he had much more skill and guile, size has it's advantages but it doesn't mean automatic win.

It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.

lots of people saying this but whats the reasoning behidn that.

So light person = one hitted by "big boy"

heavy person = not one hitted by "big boy"

do the higher weight categories pack their muscle into their faces to cushion blows? just how does being lighter make him more susceptible to being knocked out by one hit to the head.

the head seems pretty unchanged between a 10st guy and a 20st sted head.

In a mma fight the mma fighter would win. Shocker

Obviously if its a mediocre mma fighter. Then who knows but anyone of note would whoop his ass. A steet fight obviously its a different ball game, as a different set if skills and will come into play.

Just as any decent boxer would annihilate the best mma fighter in a boxing match.

Someone mentioned what if Tyson had trained as a mma fighter from a young age, he would be a beast. Not necessarily as a Tyson trained in mma won't necessarily be the same beastly boxing Tyson, as boxing is what shaped his attributes. He would be a different person, a different fighter with different attributes. The punching power/technique for a start would not be as godly as it was in boxing. Not sure he would even be a heavyweight given he's 5.11 and 220ish lbs in his prime.

Not sure if serious. Surely not serious?

Strong neck muscles count for a lot when absorbing a punch, if the head rolls around freely a lot more damage is done.

in boxing form it would probably be this

fight starts at 2:30

assuming a light person has a weaker head which is clearly wrong :D although boxers do have massively stronger kneck muscles which surely does offer some benefits when it comes to taking punches?
