What are you, 12 years old?

People who say Bruce Lee was an amazing fighter, based on a few film clips of him wailing his hands around in a completely nonsensical manner. As if he had some inexplicable mysticism and knowledge of some secret fighting techinque.

It's akin to believing the art of aikido is superior to MMA.

Not to mention completely ignoring the physical characteristics and things like grip strength which matter tremendously in a fight.

Where does this completely cartoonish, childish dream that he was an amazing fighter come from?
People have no problem joking about the ridiculous Steven Seagal, but when it comes to Bruce Lee you get those ridiculous fanboys "but bro he was so fast, an amazing martial artist would be ufc champ bro!".

Fucking ridiculous.
 
"Fucking ridiculous"
So is your post.

Wasteland.
 
Are you stupid? Bruce Lee was a pioneer of the Mixed Martial Arts. Read the Tao of Jeet Kune Do. The guy was very ahead of his time. He wasn't an advocate of that traditional woo woo shit. He was about practical martial arts and understood the value of things like wrestling, boxing, jj, etc. The fact that you would compare him to Steven Seagull shows you don't know much about him at all.
 
Yeah, thats why so many fighters name Bruce Lee as a major inspiration of theirs.

No, he wasnt an MMA fighter and az such, it's difficult to project how he would've done in MMA. But he was definitely one of the originators of the philosophy that would eventually lead to MMA. In essence, he advocated learning as much as you could from as many styles as possible and keeping what works for you and discarding the rest. That's basically exactly what modern mixed martial artists do.

Just another con-man who couldn't fight for shit. His only fighting displays were retarded choreographed seances where he beat his opponent via airpunches. Lol.

Who did he con exactly? He didn't bill himself as 'the greatest fighter to ever life'. He was a martial artist, a teacher, a philosopher, and an actor; a very humble person, too.
 
I think a lot of his buzz as a fighter comes from his contemporaries, who basically all said he was an amazing fighter.

'The best fighter is not a boxer, karate, or judo man. The best fighter is someone who can adapt on any style. He kicks too good for a boxer, throws too good for a karate man, and punches too good for a Judo man.' - Bruce Lee

'Someone with only a year of training in boxing and wrestling could easily defeat a martial artist of twenty years experience.' - Bruce Lee

Dat conman.
 
I can't even tell if this is trolling or someone new to MMA who's trying to seem hip. That's how bad this place is since Conor.
 
the only thing that really annoys me with bruce lee fans is when they go around calling him 'the father of MMA', when there's probably 0 jeet kune do fighters who have any relevancy in MMA, and vale tudo has been around since the beginning of the 20th century in Brazil.
 
How Bruce would have performed in mma is anybody's guess. Maybe he would have done well. Maybe he wouldn't.

Regardless he is the most influential martial artist in the last century though you could say the Gracie family was more influential.

He should be above this discussion. He was a true martial arts enthusiast and he spread that enthusiasm to the rest of the world. He was an icon. He was a bridge between East and West.

The most entertaining martial arts actor ever who with only 4 movies changed the world.
 
Bruce lee would kick your(you, not an MMA fighters) leg really hard before you even thought of punching him. Also you clearly don't actually know much about him but you are shitting on him and his potential in the sport of MMA, remember he was born in 1940 not 1990 there were no MMA gyms back in his day not 1 so his potential would be alot better and possibly could of made it in MMA
