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.

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

he visualized his opponent losing, and that his every attack would defeat them completely. he'd visualize all of their counter-moves, and attack in ways that also defeated these images.

I don't think this is what people usually mean when they say visionary though; he was a little bit underdeveloped when it came to silk and responding to stronger opponents. figured that if you were weaker you did something wrong somewhere, rather than this just being the state of reality no matter what you do. wasn't really middle-aged yet; and that denail of his own encroaching weakness is part of what contributed to the circumstances that caused his aneuryism. that and the now-banned analgesic compound he used.

same fundamental reason he lost to that sf master that one time.

I guess in the traditional sense, his decision to simply beat up the triads rather than paying bodyguard fees was visionary.

alright but those are stunt doubles fighting; that's the joke.

"my stunt double can beat up your stunt double" kind of thing.

also the party scene is accurate for most 70s parties, complete with arguments.

I doubt that Bruce Lee would have bothered with being in MMA. He made plenty of money as an actor and by training lots of famous people in martial arts. Speaking of training people, you do realize that Bruce Lee impressed Joe Lewis (Kickboxing/Karate Champion of the day back then) so much that Joe Lewis starting taking lessons from Bruce? Bruce Lee was not just some actor that "faked it" for the movies. Would he have been #1 in MMA? Who knows? But, he didn't need to be to prove himself either. Like on the interview where he said something like "If I tell you that I'm the best, well them I'm boasting, but if I tell you that I'm no good, well then you know that I'm lying." Winning in a professional fight setting wouldn't stop people from claiming that they could beat him if only they were around at that time either. It never ends. There's no point unless he wanted to be a professional fighter to win that prize money which, he didn't need to.

Bruce Lee is the only person to beat Chuck Norris in an unscripted all-out fight. In fact, Bruce Lee had to stop the fight so he didn't end up killing Chuck Norris with the next strike.

That is true respect for the game.

He should have done the fight with Cassius Clay instead

Bruce Lee is a legend, but he would get killed in an MMA match even against a low-tier UFC fighter.

I love people think ufc is something new cause it's popular in media nowdays

It's literally the same ♥♥♥♥ it's been for millenia, 2 dudes scapping in a ring / cage whatever

Yes, but that's my point, that he never trained to be an mma fighter, he would be maybe a good featherweight mma fighter if he trained for it, but even then he didn't really train specifically for fighting other people like that

...

So, your opinion is based solely on the notion that MMA Training is what makes a MMA Fighting champion?

OK, so like, what is this "MMA Training" stuff? If I do MMA Training, am I a MMA champion?

Lee was an accomplished martial artists that competed in both sanctioned and unsanctioned... bouts. He boxed, too, and evidently had some grappling experience as well. (According to the wiki)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Lee

Your opinion really doesn't have any foundation. Because he wasn't a fighter pilot, you'd say he'd make a bad fighter pilot. OK...

Who do you think would be a better MMA Fighter if they had trained for it, Bruce Lee or Napoleon Bonaparte? (The answer is moot as it's just not worth forming an opinion about.)

Fun fact for you but despite me being a black belt in Taekwondo I don’t think I’ll survive in a real MMA fight. The only reason why I took classes because I had too much energy as a 5 year old kid.
