how would bruce lee fare in UFC?

[Weedman Herb]

That robber and the shepherd weren't prepared to take the blow ... UFC fighters are conditioned to take these strikes that could kill a weaker person ... and WTF ... this thread isn't about death blows ... it's about how Bruce would do in the sport fighting of today ... and I don't put a whole lot of weight on a word you say Paz ... You've got the "best" stories for almost every controversial subject ... there's something up with that ... I should have left you on Ignore ...

MMA really is the new WWF..

Kung Fu is for people studying real life(spiritualy and physically)
Boxing is for boxers, wrestling is for wrestlers, and MMA (pride and UFC) are for MMA'ers.

Bruce was about real life and the pioneer of MMA fighting and could without a doubt destroy the majority of MMA fighters specially in a real life fight..

 

[swampdank]

these guys are pretty damn tough, using their bulk and strength to overwhelm their opponent.

i just wonder if bruce lee could take these kinds of fighters down?

You are shitting me right? None of those guys have the balls to go toe to toe with the dragon.

Five finger death punch.

Bruce Lee all the way.

Machida A Traditional Karate man with a supplemental Jiu Jitsu Black Belt has the UFC 205 belt ... Rashad (a wrestler and Former LHW champ) did not die even though he was struck hard in the temple (a "death" blow) by an accomplished and "deadly" striker ... MMA is a sport ... they don't want to kill each other ... they want to best each other (even if this means snapping an appendage or choking someone 3 quarters of the way to death ... some fighters don't know how or when to quit) ... why would you bother training for and joining a fighting league if you just wanted to deliver death blows?

Ok, I think you know what I mean, but lets pretend you don't.

One in a million happens everyday somewhere on a planet of almost 7 billion(or is it more)people.
What is the stat? something like 1 person every hour in the USA alone dies in an alcohol related car accident, but it is still a one in a million chance that you will die in one. Alright? Follow me now?

What I follow is the following:

that you are willing to admit that it is easier and an everyday happening that people die "accidentally" when others strike them; on the other hand, you state that an intentional strike to kill is not likely to accomplish its goal while the accidental one is no big deal.

do you see what you are doing just to defend your stance?

smoke a j and think about it.

peace

1 - They favor people with grappling practice. They do this in two ways. The first is they require gloves for everybody. Now don't get me wrong, I think gloves are certainly a good idea, but if you are a striker it's a lot harder to put somebody on the ground when you're punching through a padded glove. Additionally they rule a bunch of strikes illegal: eye gouges, throat attacks, etc. Again I think these are necessary rules, but if your game is striking a big part of your strategy is to use these weak points. If you can't then you're being forced to have a disadvantage.

2 - They also put chinese (Chin Na) grappling at a disadvantage. You can't do any manipulation of 'small joints', which is a major part of Chinese grappling.

Also, if you look back in the day you'll see that many CMA did participate in MMA outside the US. From what I understand Lee Koon Hung and Tat-Mao Wong both dominated Southeast Asian MMA: the rules in these competitions were less slighted against CMA.

All good points, I'm begining to see that you do have a pretty fair idea of whats going on with MMA.

I have had that small joint manipulation done to me(guy stopping short of breaking my fingers) and it's a horror show, never left my fingers uncurled for a second when they didn't have to be sparing with that guy after that.

Defend my stance?? It doesn't need defense, it simply is. The fact that the sun rises each day is still a fact whether you believe it or not, and my saying that it rises is not a defense against your disbelieve, just a statement of fact.

So you say I'm defending my stance by explaining simple everyday math and odds to someone who doesn't understand it?

While I'm smoking my j, why don't you pull up the examples of these death blows your talking about?

 

[PazVerdeRadical]

ddrew, I hope you are not serious when asking for examples of death-blows video-taped and up-loaded to youtube so that you can know that if someone were to strike you in the wrong way, things could end up real bad.

I am not even going to look for those videos, I hope they do not exist in the first place as a matter of fact.

I'm beginning to think your just here to troll and not discuss the issue(bruce) and related topics(death blows, mma on the whole, ma, etc...)

Tapes of different practitioners of various styles discussing death blows and doing simulations

 

[PazVerdeRadical]

um... ya... i am trolling lol...

believe what you will, just stay out of a real fight, it is not the same as scraping with your buddies and watching ufc on tv...

i am out

paz

 

[ddrew]

Thanks Paz, u sound like a heavy, I'll be sure to stear clear of you, lol.

 

[kaotic]

Just out of curiosity have any of you ever even stepped one foot in a cage? Until you have and heard that door lock behind you, you are just like the politicians spoon feeding us propaganda about weed. UNINFORMED. Before you fight you sign a contract stating you know your opponent will cause as much bodily harm as possible and death may occur. How can you honestly have an informed opinion about what a fighter is capable of if you have never been there? Oh yeah that's right, you've watched kung fu movies. The outward displays of ignorance here is what keeps MMA from becoming more respectable.

 

[Weedman Herb]

Has anyone else noticed that Paz and his friends have witnessed or experienced Everything Imaginable? Plain and simple ... I think you're a fucking liar ...and Keep thinking that you "know" me Paz ... I love to show people how wrong they are ...

 

[TheMintMan]

I love this thread. I loved the original thread on Overgrow, and I'm still lovin' it.

The answer is Bruce Lee FTW.

Carry on...

 

[PazVerdeRadical]

Thanks Paz, u sound like a heavy, I'll be sure to stear clear of you, lol.

just to make things clear, no where have I claimed any fighting skills whatsoever, nor do I claim any now.

the best fight is the one you avoid, and the real fight is with the enemy within.

later gators.

Bruce constantly adapted when fighting and with ease takes out any and every opponent.. if he was still around he would be much older now..but given like 15 years ago if he would have had this fight Bruce by now would be so so more far advanced in every way even more so then he was back in the day, Bruce would take any ufc guy in less then 2-3mins and he prob kill the dude.>on that note UFC is a step up from a glorified street fight..for money. ahh tap out

The King of the Gypsies (Bartley Gorman) would leather him at 52 ...
