Bruce Lee vs. any PFC fighter, who would win?

[Foghatlive]

With the skills he had at the time of his death, no.

But, Bruce was a great athlete who surely could've learned the skills necessary to compete in MMA.

Bruce never fought in an MMA environment. He would get mauled.

This is not true. It takes less than five pounds of pressure on the chin to knock someone out.

You're right, as usual!

In a real fight, Bruce wouldn't be able to hit Fedor much though. Fedor has such a big reach advantage. Also, if Bruce got too close, Fedor could either:

1. Use his world class judo skills
or
2. Just [censored] bear hug Bruce to death

Bruce Lee has repeatedly said that if someone seriously trained as a boxer and wrestler for 1-3 years that said person would be able to beat most high-level martial artists in a regular fight.

BJ Penn would destroy him. Unless you let them use numchucks.

Is bruce Lee on coke or off coke, does that make a difference in your Op, and which way would help him......

bruce lee is the reason that mma is around today. he was the first person to introduce the idea that the best style is no style at all. I have no doubt that if he was in his prime today, he would be a top fighter in the ufc.

"bruce lee is the reason that mma is around today. he was the first person to introduce the idea that the best style is no style at all. I have no doubt that if he was in his prime today, he would be a top fighter in the ufc. "

This is exactly what I was going to say. Bruce Lee was preaching MMA long before it ever came out. His fighting ideas are the core of what MMA is all about.

Ok, I looked at his weight.

Bruce's weight went between 125 and 155 during adulthood (125 in later years when coked out, 155 at max). His ideal fighting weight would probably be 145-150, certainly he would easily make Featherweight (136 to 145).

The lowest UFC weight class is Lightweight: 146 to 155 lb. Pride's lightweight goes up to 160. So pretty much all those guys are already heavier than Bruce. In that class, his opponents would be guys like Gomi, Sherk, Diaz, Pulver, etc.

I imagine he could beat or be close with all those guys assuming he trained in modern MMA techniques for a little while.

Bruce wouldn't have a chance with Fedor any more than Gomi would have a chance. In fact it's laughable.

Bruce Lee was a martial artist, not an MMA fighter. This is an important distinction, and that's coming from someone who practiced martial arts most of his life. He'd get crushed, he never trained for an MMA environment

fedor would kill bruce lee. Even bruce lee fighting in his own weight class would get wrecked...
