Because Bruce Buffer is named after Bruce Lee, and without him we woudn't have the GOAT announcer and UFC the way it is right now.

yeah but how well would prime bruce lee do in the modern bantamweight or featherweight division?

i don't see him winning against merab or ilia
which means he is more of an influencer / movie star than athlete

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Dude, he's a secret character in one of the UFC games!

No idea. But as someone who is old enough to have watched his movies before he died I can say he was one of the people instrumental in bringing martial arts to a much wider audience.

Yes he would lose to these fighters but who knows if he had the proper training. Nothing about his person would have prevented him from being an awesome mma fighter he is just from a different time

Im sure he at least wrecks his weight class. He would have welcomed all styles of fighting to learn.
