    To be fair Norris then went on to train under the Machado's, I think he got a black belt eventually, definitely a brown.

    He was also that tough guy that thought he could beat bruce lee and was dumb enough to test him. Boy, did he get a good lesson on some good chinese boxing. meow

    Based on what? He didn't develop any grappling skill of note during his life despite there being more than ample opportunity and he never was an even halfway competitive fighter in any form.

    Saying **** like "oh he would be great at BJJ" is just as stupid as saying "oh he would learn to sprint and outrun Usain Bolt, or learn to swim and outswim Phelps.

    I suppose based on the technical definition of "impossible" it isn't, but it simply has no chance of happening in reality.

    There were also stories about some Japanese master, Mas Oyama, or something. Who's calling card was open hand "chopping" Bull's horns in half. I bet he would have been a modern day MMA terror.:D

    I guess it goes without saying that I am very skeptical of how well Bruce Lee would have performed in this time capsulated MMA senario(s).

    Personally I would rather hear Gene LeBell stories. He would have torn of Bruce's head and defecated down his neck.

    He isn't the one with a reality problem.

    Oyama is a pretty well documented fighter who had a lot of success in karate and was pretty decent in Judo.

    Lebell is a legend in American Judo, trained with Le, tossed him around without much issue.

    What exactly is your point in this thread?

    Once again, LeBell never trained with Lee, LeBell never choked out Lee, LeBell did not bend Norris over and **** him up the ass till he screamed 'daddy'.

    Another classic ******ed opinion based upon one's own ******ation.

    Going through life without a clue is no way to live, son.

    Are you going to tell Gene that, or should I?

    Lee has no competitive record against serious fighters, certainly nothing like his lesser known but more talented contemporaries.

    Really, what exactly are you trying to say Bruce Lee was? Any claim beyond what he actually accomplished as a fighter is pure speculation, and what he actually accomplished as a fighter pales in comparison to much more proven fighters. Theorize all you want, but there are far more proven fighters.

    I've met and spoken with Gene. He never trained with Lee. They may have played about on set, but they never formally trained. There's a difference.

    Understand?

    The guy is a proven fighter. Just not in tournaments or for belts.

    The fact that YOU don't know of his fighting outside of the ring is your fault, and should not be a measure of Lee's actual fighting prowess.
