Would Bruce Lee win UFC fights had he been still alive and willing to compete?

[QUOTE=Clint Bronson;247884]Bruce Lee in his prime 30 yrs.old I believe would beat any man one on one
(NO RULES THOUGH!) He had more knowledge than people give him credit for.
First he has shown in books he is very capable of Chokes!!! A big plus for the
smaller man against bigger man. So people like Dan Severn,Marco Coleman
Shamrock I feel would have a tough time with Bruce on their back and arm
around the neck. I believe Royce would be his toughest challenge but still
see Bruce either choking him out(beating royce at his own game)or knocking
him out with a punch win Royce shoots for the hips.QUOTE]

I wont even comment on the rest, but Bruce would get taken down and tapped out so fast by Royce. No one else EVER caught Royce and KO'd him. Even Ken Shamrock landed some hard shots and Royce wasnt fazed, so theres no way Bruce would have had any chance, and least of all, tapping out Royce who is a world champion grappler (and what has BRuce won to prove he is even worthy to be considered for the octagon, he was in some movies???). I must recommend putting down the crack pipe and stepping back from the computer

Debates like this will just go on and on for years to come......

Bruce had faster hands than Vitor Belfort, he was stronger than Tank Abbot, he was a better grappler than Dean Lister, and a far better Muah Thai fighter than Allesio Sivla. Word had it that Bruce even knew the "vulcan nerve pich".
The original post didnt say the old Ufc or new, the old UFC had no time limits, in which case Bruce would get killed. In the new 5 minute rounds, he'd get killed too. I even remember The Dragon who used to announce the old UFCs was asked how bruce would do "Bruce was a tough guy, but he'd get killed in there, he was just too small".
It wouldnt even take a top fighter to destroy that lil fella Bruce, imagine what Keith Hackney would have done to him.
The guys today like Genki Sudo and Caul Uno who can fight standing and do all that flying kick crap do well, but they are far better at what Bruce did than he was himself

YEAH! Godzilla wins,I don't think he'd have to use fire breath either,King Kong
for that matter too would have lil' Bruce shishkabobs!!

LOL....you've got me laughing my @ss off!

Bruce was a diminutive man, he'd couldnt make a weight class to fight in the UFC. If he did his flying kicks, he'd get KOd just like Carl Uno did when he tried to do a flying kick at BJ Penn

Bruce Lee was lightning quick and was known to have snake-like reflexes. You never know?

Kokkalai, also a lightning quick fighter has fought heavyweights 200 lb + and super-heavyweights 260 lb + and won by KO, while slimming down to 150-ish.

He'd stand no chance. If he did his flying kicks, he'd get KOd just like Carl Uno did when he tried to do a flying kick at BJ Penn

Remember,it is just a opinion.

It is just the opinion of some doe-eyed, hero-worshipping kid who needs to start growing up.

[Mephariel]

Happy Birthday Bruce Lee.

Thanks for everything you done to martial arts.

[Clint Bronson]

Did not take long for non-believer

Drugs are not the answer, kid.

Remember,it is just a opinion. Who is your fighter though? James Ryan.

Bruce Lee in his prime 30 yrs.old I believe would beat any man one on one
(NO RULES THOUGH!) He had more knowledge than people give him credit for.
First he has shown in books he is very capable of Chokes!!! A big plus for the
smaller man against bigger man. So people like Dan Severn,Marco Coleman
Shamrock I feel would have a tough time with Bruce on their back and arm
around the neck. I believe Royce would be his toughest challenge but still
see Bruce either choking him out(beating royce at his own game)or knocking
him out with a punch win Royce shoots for the hips.All in all Bruce was ahead of his time and DID NOT LIMIT HIMSELF TO ONE STYLE after the gung-fu fight
he had I believe in 64?? People who say he would not do well either just see
him for what he did in movies or (in my belief) just plain don't like him.
I have always told it like it is. And Bruce was the fastest I have seen in the striking dept.That along with being a monky on your back makes it very diffacult to win,who ever the fighter is,again Bruce was very capable of sidestepping so please 250pds.try rushing at him than beg for MAMA when you have his forearms around your neck like snakes for me to see Bruce Lee lose put him against a LION,SILVER BACK GORILLA OR POLAR BEAR. Than Bruce loses hands down.

Drugs are not the answer, kid.
