how would bruce lee fare in UFC?

[daddy fingaz]

well said JoJo, anyone who knows anything knows that bare knuckle fighting is actually safer!!



Bruce Lee was a martial artist who did some acting, not the other way round, dont forget that!!

I think if bruce lee in his peak today would be a very similar fight to leyoto muchida or anderson silva. He would have techniques and ALOT of discipline thats what bruce lee was all about. He would never stop learning just as alot of the great ufc fighters do today. And who ever says that ufc fighting is just techniqueless brawling is an idiot. They should watch George st. pierre or anderson silva in a couple of fights and they would see the technique and disciipline it takes. Bruce lee would be near the top of the ladder if not a champion in a lower weight class.

Dude you don't know jack sh!t about me ..
I have fought many times, and i can tell you gloves make a huge difference..
Especially with Eage Claw which has every lock in existance in it, FUCK BJJ !!.. They got all those locks from eagle claw... Do your research..

I know you are full of Ca Ca. The gloves UFC fighters use makes no difference. You would know if you had used them. You can easily perform any grappling move with them, including finger locks etc. I know because I do them. But they are just for show. You will NEVER pull off moves like that in any fight, gloves or no gloves.

Eagle claw LOL. Eagle claw is not the basis for any jujitsu techniques/systems, it is a branch of shaolin kung fu http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_Claw. You are confusing chinese and japanese fighting. Research lol yeah you should do some. Next you will tell me this crappy grappling system that doesn't work is the basis for greek wrestling too.

The style is composed of 108 sets of locking techniques and each set has about 4 locks before u end up in the final bone breaker.

So what? It is a dead system THAT DOES NOT WORK IN REAL LIFE. Get over it kid.

Yeah a guy comes at me I'm going to jump into the air fly on his head this will cause his arms to go up I'll grab his arm twist his wrist somersaulting off launching him into the air while I break 2 of his fingers and hit him in the groin he will fall down where I apply pressure point stomach 9 to disable his blah blah blah ALLLLLLLL BULLSHIT.

Just watch this guy fight invisible ninjas with his eagle claws http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1063076/wushu_eagle_claw_old_school_style_yingzaho_quan/

Arms out like a bird pecking at the ground thats the proven method to win a fight right there! He could take out any UFC fighter no problem! You could to! You are invincible! You shit bullets!

Forgot to mention the vice like grip that will only grab a pressure point stopping blood flow and fucking up ur nervous system... "the eagle claw"

No it won't, are you retarded? Eagle claw is just grab+twist+pull as hard as you can to the abdomen. Good luck working that on me as I strike with bricks and elbows in your face laughing at your pitiful attempt to inflict "pain".

In a system like MMA/jujitsu like I learned it is beneficial for me if my opponent grabs on to me somehow to try and perform some ridiculous dancing move which allows me the opportunity to smash their face in with bricks and elbows and then work into some real grappling like a choke. Your hand is considered contained and is not a viable weapon that can be used against me (cause you will not get off some stupid pressure point hollywood move nor will it cause any crippling effects like you describe). My hands and legs are open to strike you repeatedly in the head while you are stuck trying to figure out why trying to twist my side doesn't work on me.

That move, like all the rest of your shaolin ballet dancing does not work in a real fight, it is just for show.

While your busy trying to pull off some unrealistic fancy dance before you know it LIGHTS OUT and your on the ground done fight's over.

Well over 400 grappling locks in this system and a thorough striking system from shaolin... I have been in martial arts over 10 years now..

So what I'm bored. All your complex crappy locks that can never work in real life are trumped by kicks, elbows, fists, solid take downs and submissions.

You are telling me you have been doing kung fu since you were 7 and so then for 10 years now you have been learning kiddy crap ballet dancing that is just for show, not real fighting techniques that will actually work in a real fight.

As far as fat.. I am prolly around 7% body fat i got pics to prove it... I am shredded...

Shredded like cheese. Or the Shredder.

IN early UFC real martial artist were owning not floor rolling monkeys.
I don't know what you were watching or even if u know when it all actually started, stop talkin out your ass.... your about as ignorant as can be!

You are talking out of that dark place that needs more wiping. Reality clearly speaks for itself here and you are doing nothing out outright lying simply to save your failed position.

I have all the UFC's. All of them LOL. A huge number of fights went to the ground, and I remember 20 minute matches with the fighters simply so exhausted to fight. Gracie, Shamrock. Severn. Abbot LoL. "Real" martial artists. Real according to whom silly? Most "martial artists" in early UFC were simply dominated by good striking and grappling (Ie gracie, etc). If their style incorporated this then they typically fared better than other fighters that did not. UFC 1 BJJ won, 2 BJJ again, 3 a cop using Ninjutsu (which if you look at his style is more just jujitsu and MMA), 4 BJJ again, 5 Sambo and Severn a wrestler wins the superfight, and it goes on and on with grappling being of utmost importance and all watching the old UFC one will generally see with the most successful fighters they all use the same general moves, grappling techniques and strikes combined with conditioning to pave the way to victory.

The fighters in UFC now DESTROY all other fighters and martial arts styles. Fighters from pride and any others simply get cremated entering into the UFC, where professionals constantly train to be the best. Gracie tried to fight Huges trying to show the style still works, and Hughes dominated using the incorporated jujitsu techniques of MMA along with everything else.

With the supreme training fighters now undertake working their bodies and techniques constantly, the martial artists of old days are left in the dust, relegated to a form of dance failing to be the proven method of hand to hand combat, which is of course rather what MMA is about.

Of course, if you are so good why do we not see you dominating your weight class in UFC today hmm? I'm sure you could go toe to toe with BJ Penn and JSP
Now I'm no slouch, but I know I can't beat those guys and neither can you. That' what guns are for.

Bruce Lee is dead. How he would have done is anyone's guess. If his method of fighting was so good for everyone it would be used. A fighter who trained under Bruce Lee's style fared only so so against opponents, winning and losing a match. It is more likely Bruce's conditioning had much to do with his success than any magic hoopla super secret dim mak move that no one knows but YOU hahahaha.

People denouncing all the traditional arts as useless are wrong. They may not be as efficient in the ring as Jujitsu, but some do work against the average joe, and against multiple attackers (which Jujitsu isn't too good for).

Here's a video of some Praying Mantis kung fu practitioner looking like a moron, but taking out some gangster: http://www.youtube.com/watch?p=12D21F6B13C0D162&playnext=1&index=0&feature=PlayList&v=rVln3QhYCUc


By the way, Bruce Lee didn't have a style. He had a philosophy, which he named Jeet Kune Do (he was reluctant to give it a name because then people who didn't know what they were talking about would call it a style). His philosophy was basically to "hack away at the unessentials", take whatever you find is useful (where ever you may find it) and disregard what is not. It was this philosophy that is the basis for today's MMA, which is what is used in UFC.

It's about time for this thread to die. Bunch of idiots here anyway.

 

[osirica420]

I know you are full of Ca Ca.

I am not even goin to bother to read your post..

yes this thread does have alot of ignorance going around..

 

[PazVerdeRadical]

what would the big ufc and pride champs would say about their chances vs. a guy like bruce lee? i bet they would say they would win but with difficulty and suck bruce's dick one way or another.

peace

During Enter the Dragon he broke one mans sternum and the arm of 2 others. I saw him do a flying side kick into a 100 plus lb bag and the bag hit the ceiling. He studied many styles and mastered them all including iron palm. The man was just awesome. I think he held back because he had the ability to kill or perm maim people. In his best shape i will go with Bruce Lee.

 

[79towncar]

Well if he was in the UFC he would fight at a very light weight class.... Probabily at like 145 or 150.... At that weight I think he would dominate... But at a heavier weight I just think he would be overpowered... Yea he was a martial arts master but I think a trainer strong heavier opponent would be too much for Bruce Lee... He was only an actor.... I don't see him as anything more to be honest.....

Please don't post blashphemy in this thread or bruce lee will come back and crush you with one hit. Two finger pushups name somebody who does that in the UFC or Pride nobody he was more than an actor he was a martial artist first always remember that or one day you might eat those fucking words.

I've been staying out of this for a while but I've been sucked back in again.

Dude you saw him do that in person huh? Kick a 100lb bag into the ceiling?
I keep hearing about this but there are no tapes of it, go find one, u think that's something he would make a tape of.

Someone said cult of personality already and that is right.
For the last time, there is no santa claus and bruce lee would not beat everyone.
He would be an OK lightweight to start with pontential to advance, as far as stepping in with Fedor or one of the big boys, hell no.

 

[ddrew]

Oh, and if he was such a master and had such great "control"
then why did he break 2 arms and a sternum filming a movie?

 

[kaotic]

I could see him as a twink.

 

[fsaebud]

In 2004, UFC president Dana White credited Lee as the "father of mixed martial arts".

dude would have handed people there ass no doubt. but he wouldn't have fought in the octagon. i am sure most fighters today have mad respect for Bruce and in the early years of UFC he would have been a champion no doubt and he would have adapted his technique to fend off the grappling not to mention he would have easily been faster than those guys so good luck trying to get a take down. people don't relies more goes into power than just mass its also acceleration (with mass your only adding weight with more mass which requires more energy to accelerate but if your adding acceleration your multiplying that force along with being quicker with blocking and dodging that's why Bruce had amazing power because he had amazing acceleration) and if you could move fast enough you could put out ridiculous power even for a light mass combine that with pressure points and he would have been deadly quick with the TKO's.

i would have loved to see Royce Gracie battle Bruce lee that would have been a killer fight with 2 legends.

i think pride is better than UFC anyways maybe not the reffing but defiantly the fighters and matches.

machida is interesting in that his technique is different from many of the other proven MMA technique and he might even had taken a page from Bruce lee by just using what works for him and not adhering to other peoples methods either way he makes his opponent make mistakes and capitalizes apon them just like Bruce lee would say he would let his hit land themselves and make his opponent make mistakes.

also It's believed that Bruce Lee's speed was one of the fastest ever and his punch was a Wing Chun punch.
The world record for the fastest punching is held by a Wing Chun practitioner.

I think Bruce Lee would get beat by a few of the UFC fighters..

do your homework and research and you can find the answers. the side kick i saw in one of his books many years ago. remember not everyone had video cameras laying around then. they wrote books not post videos. the broken sternum i think was purpose. i think it talks about it on wikipidia under enter the dragon. the broken arms were probably for fun and part of the last scene with the sternum. "There are two ways to glide through life easily, believe everything youve heard or believe nothing youve heard. Either way saves you from having to think."

Do my homework and research bro? How about you do it since it's your claim your trying to support, and then post your findings here, but I will let you know now that you will have a hard time finding anything since I have "done my homework and research" you have not, or you would see there are NO real tapes, several cheesy fakes, nothing real.
But strangely enough, there are plenty of real interviews, home movies, etc... you think during one of these he would have whipped out at least a few 2 finger push ups, or a one inch punch that sends a guy flying off his feet across the room, kicking the bag, etc.... but he didn't, I wonder why, hmmmmm.

And don't say it's because there were no cameras, who are we talking about here? This guy was the biggest Asian movie star that ever lived, he filmed shit he was doing all the time, but none of these big "feats"

 

[ddrew]

And the 2 finger pushup? No big deal, here's some regular everyday guy weighing twice what Bruce did busting them out in his kitchen.
Tons of tapes of people doing them, shit, if I weighed 102lbs like Bruce, I bet I could do a one finger pushup, lmao

[ddrew]

And here is Bruce doing them, same shit, no big deal.
