    Yes, we know it isn't actual competition, but its one of the only glimpses into his abilities in a real fight.

    To anybody that thinks Bruce was skilled should go read his self-defence manuals (he published 4 during his lifetime). They’re a laughable joke, right up there with Frank Dux demonstrations.

    a chief stunt coordinator doesn't hold your leg up when you kick. and they only had little involvement in his work. you make such bold claims without any proof and give a reasoning based off of nonsense. If chuck norris and gene lebell coordinate my movie, does that mean i'm going to look like Bruce on film? It's hard for me to take your opinion seriously. Jesus i've heard some decent arguments in the past, but you take the cake for the most incoherent.

    Bruce Lee was a a movie character not a fighter. Even if he was to enter UFC 1 he would of had his face bashed in with in 1 minute or had a limb ripped off if he didn't tap quick enough.
    he trained in Boxing for all of 2 years lol wow that must make him a certain for a top 3 pound for pound boxer as well.
    Fan boys of movie characters thinking the moves they do on screen would work in real life is usually the fantasies of a 5 year old.

    Those mystical real fights. He proved himself with fictional movies and made up stories.
    Would get destroyed against real fighters but he could probably win some bar brawls

    I was wondering where he got that sparring partner from. It looks like he picked him out of the audience.

    A great MMA fighter. Even though some sources tell that Bruce Lee is the first MMA fighter all over the world when people don’t really know about this and then this became one of the best sports. There are many controversies about him but no one can deny that he is the best MMA fighter. Most people compare him with Jake Paul, well, every fighter makes his own career. Bruce Lee's Quotes and film (documentary) inspired so many UFC fighters. Even the current champion of UFC.

    He would get dominated.

    Lee was not from the same cloth as professional fighters.

    Probably not good at all. Though i do believe he was more than just an actor when it came down to his martial arts skills, and would be able to do those theatrics to you in real life, i just dont think hed do well against power house wrestlers like a khabib for example. Hed get taken down and most likely ground and pounded into submission.
