Bruce Lee vs...
Bruce Lee is my idol, hero, and in my opinion the coolest man to ever exist. In the company of your educated martial arts/fighting opinions, I have to ask.
Who do you think would win if Bruce Lee fought a BEAR!?
A grizzly. A walking mass of bulk. Do you think Bruce's lightning fast hands and feet could disable it? Could he avoid it long enough to land a finger jab to the eye? Could he blind it and then pick it apart from there?
And also...
Bruce Lee vs Tito Ortiz
Bruce Lee vs Chuck Liddell
Bruce Lee vs Randy Couture
Bruce Lee vs Mike Tyson
Bruce Lee vs Mohammid Ali
Bruce Lee vs Tito Ortiz AND Chuck Liddell at the same time
Outcomes?
(For the above fights, we assume all fighters are in their prime)

I think Sub is our Bruce Lee expert. He'll have some interesting views on this.

In regards to Bruce Lee fighting a grizzly bear....well, he would prbably end up as bear poop.
The other scenarios you posted are hard to really debate. Everyone has their own opinions as to what would probably happen but Im not going to try to say one way or the other. The only way would be to see or witness it and sadly, that just isnt possible.
After having some time to think about him and a bear.....I still think he ends up as a bear turd.

He would first eye-gouge Chuck, and then knock him out.
After that, he'd LnP a decision-win over Tito.
End of thread.

Lee's one finger eye jab > Liddell's thumb
No contest there.

Bruce Lee was a stand up kind of guy and never really fought much on the ground therefore facing him against Tito could have a bad outcome for Bruce Lee considering hes like 5ft7 and 140-150pounds (he would of been in LW and facing Sherk and BJ Penn). If it was street fighting nobody knows who would win and nobody will find out unless someone trains like Bruce Lee from a very young age and becomes as good as him.

Bruce Lee, had he known of MMA as a sport, would have trained for the ground game. As it is, he did demonstrate knowledge of ground fighting. One example was Game of Death, even though it was a film, where he choked out Kareem Abdul Jabaar in the final fight scene. It was a choregraphed film fight, but that entire end-fight sequence displayed that Lee was thinking about an incredible variety of fight styles.
If Bruce Lee were younger and able to have been in the UFC in the last five years at a competitive age, with his original skill set intact and added in more ground fighting (wrestling, BJJ. Judo, etc), then I have no doubt that he would be the best LW MMA fighter in the world. There would have been classic matches between Lee and Penn, as well as a fight between Lee and Gomi and other top fighters.
Lee and Penn share something, many things, in common. They both have that drive to test themselves all across the board. They both have a great deal of fighting knowledge. I think that we would all agree that Bruce Lee would have the better cardio and physical conditioning. Ah well, this is all idle speculation. Hey, naybe somebody will invent a video game that can somehow accurately account for Bruce Lee's skill sets and have him in the video game arena able to fight modern fighters. Something like the premise of Rocky Balboa (Rocky VI). |

Its good to finally see someone that actually knows Bruce for what he is, obviously he couldnt beat up a Grizzly bear, they can take rifles to the head and not even sustain that much damage, but he could defenetly beat all those other guys, and maybe even Tito and Chuck at the same time if he knocked one out with the first kick.
Also bruce lee had enough forearm power to outstrength anyone his weight on the ground, and he wouldve developed a phenomenal ground game, if he didnt already have one, which i would think he did. |

Bruce Lee is one of the most over rated people of all time, w/ Chuck Norris in close second. Just because he was the first person to train in more than 1 are (or at least make it famous) and beat up on a bunch of TMA guys doesn't mean ****. If you think Lee would beat any decent fighter, you're completely ass backwards and don't understand modern MMA.

Also, what the hell does forearm strength have to do w/ anything? If I yanked my chain 3X a day for 5 years I'd have damn good strength, that doesn't mean l'm gonna dominate MMA.
