Catching Lightning (Lee Murray Documentary)

[duke_droese]

Probably the best MMA related documentary so far.

You can't tell me Lee Murray wouldn't have been a superstar if the UFC didn't cancel his contract. Might have been a big bag fumble as they could have kept him for UK cards only.

He might have been Connor x 2-3. He was a natural fighter with that rare type of energy which makes you a boss amongst gangsters.

Connor was good, but the drawback compared to Lee was that he was an over-compensating skinny manlet who wasn't naturally dangerous enough to average+ sized men. Whereas Lee was a natural born killer. Ask Tito.

He had enough years to make a splash before USADA as well. Biggest what if in MMA history.

I liked it too but there was something I found funny in it.

In the doc, they try to depict Murray like he's a really good guy and just the wrong place at the wrong time.


Everywhere he went, there was trouble. He was not a good guy

Yea but I think they did a fair job showing that despite him being a nice guy to people around him, he was still a violent gangster. He was getting out of control with the drinking and retarded shit, like recording your criminal conspiracy on your phone lmao.

It's a shame he wasn't around an Abdulmanap type father figure to hone that natural talent from childhood. Or even around a high school wrestling system like in America.

Dude, I was looking like crazy for a place to watch this documentary but no streaming put it available in Brazil. Where did you watch it?

How safe is to say that Murray was the best AS win at that point?

One of the best weigh-ins ever

Met the dude a few times, even sat in his motor while he sold me some Cage Rage tickets. Gotta say, hes intimidating as fuck.

That's why he's the only fighter in history to go post-to-post with average 6'6 280 lbs sherdoggers under his real name.

I'd still give it to Sakurai, but Murray is up there.

Anderson came across as a class act on there. Spoke very highly of Lee and admitted he was shitting his pants lol.

Yes reminds me of the time I met BJ Penn at the airport. He gave me a pair of UFC gloves that he licked.

Lee had nothing for Silva that night. One of the most overrated fighters ever due to his bullshit outside of the cage.

Not many would do better vs Silva in the stand up. We saw what he did to Franklin shortly after, for example.

Many grapplers would have exposed Lee though

Lame as fuck that he had to be told to taunt Anderson about Pele getting KO'd.

 

[Texas]

I didn’t realise there was a documentary been wanting a film about him for years, can’t wait to watch this

Guys were carrying guns at that weigh-in
