Honestly, I've been thinking about it, and Bruce Lee would probably be a bottom-tier amateur fighter in today's MMA scene.

[bananaigerai]

1. First off, Bruce Lee was mainly an actor. He never fought in a real MMA match, so he didn't have any actual fight experience. Most of what he did was choreographed for movies.
2. Modern MMA fighters train in multiple disciplines like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and Wrestling. Bruce Lee mainly knew Kung Fu, which isn't as effective in a mixed martial arts setting.
3. Bruce didn't have a ground game. Today's fighters are skilled in grappling and submissions, and Bruce wouldn't have been able to keep up on the ground.
4. He was pretty small compared to today's fighters. Guys like Conor McGregor and Jon Jones would have a huge size advantage over him.
5. Finally, Bruce never had to deal with the physical demands of MMA training, like cutting weight and intense cardio workouts. He trained for movies, not for real fights.
So yeah, Bruce Lee would probably struggle to even make it as an amateur in today's MMA :D. Just a fact.

Yes one round house to Tysons face and Tyson would be down for the count.

There is a reason why weight categories exist you know.

In a street fight ol Mikey boy wouldn't stand a chance.

But that's not true, why else would we need weight categories in MMA if it didn't matter?

If Xautos does not mind me stepping in and adding to any response he gives.

Bruce Lee was not for the sporting of Martial Arts.

He was a highly dangerous and capable individual.

I will ask you a question :

Are you a martial artist or do you work in any field involving fighting?

you are correct on this. i did not mean it in any sporting sense.
Bruce Lee trained himself to be the best he could in all manner of forms. He was very dedicated to martial arts

It was the way of life for him. Can't be more dedicated than that.

Lmmfao. No Mike Tyson wouldn't even get a chance to grab Bruce Lee. You and op are funny. Make a video of you doing 2 finger push ups and post it on youtube. Also make a video of you breaking 2 buloke boards with a kick. I want to see the buloke boards break not your foot. No pre cuts either to make them easier to break.

If the match was mostly striking Bruce Lee would be a contender for any MMA match. He would be in the feather weight class, so I don't think he'd face some of the more famous MMA fighters, unless it was held during the early day where there was regulation. I do wonder how he would do in grappling situations, where his speed wouldn't help as much.

Bruce Lee was arguably the greatest martial artist of all time. At 5 foot 6 inches and weighing around 145 lbs (65.9 kg) in his prime, Bruce's legacy was that no matter how tall, big or strong an individual is, the technical martial artist is always at a greater advantage.

[PaulKrawitz]

If Bruce Lee can kick the ass of an average person, then he's a good fighter.

If he can do the same with a skilled fighter, then he is one hell of a warrior.

If he can do the same with a warrior, then he is a legend.

That's how I view it.

you know he has a book you can read that will make you look dumb; you don't need to come here to do it.

He did one match. He was fast, raised in San Francisco, champion Cha-Cha dancer that helped him coordinate his muscles.

One of his secrets was that his right leg was shorter than he left, allowing him super extra speed with his kicks, when he was already naturally fast.

He was routinely challenged to fights on the set, and never lost.

[Chaosolous]

He was fast. Like fast fast.

Is OP seriously slagging off the legendary Bruce Lee in an attempt to earn jester awards?

I'm not giving you jesters for saying unfunny stupid sh*t. Go research what the man did to his sparring partners. He wasn't just a fighter, or a actor-martial artist, he was lightning fast, intuitive, and a visionary.

Describe how he was a visionary

I don't think OP knows what he's talking about.
