Joe Lewis - "Bruce was incredibly strong for his size. He could take a 75lb barbell and from a standing position with the barbell held flush against his chest, he could slowly stick his arms out, lock them and hold the barbell there for 20 seconds, that's pretty damn tough for a guy who at the time only weighed 138lbs. I know 200lb weight lifters who can't do that."
Danny Inosanto - "Bruce had tremendous strength in holding a weight out horizontally in a standing position. I know because I've seen it. He'd take a 125lb barbell and hold it straight out".
well there goes your theory that he was to small
"1958 is also notable as the year when Bruce defeated reigning three year champion, Gary Elms, in the Hong Kong Boxing Championships."
well he wasnt just an actor he did fight too.
for all of you who think he would be takin down easily:
Jesse Glover - "The power that Lee was capable of instantly generating was absolutely frightening to his fellow martial artists, especially his sparring partners, and his speed was equally intimidating. We timed him with an electric timer once, and Bruce's quickest movements were around five hundredths of a second, his slowest were around eight hundredths. This was punching from a relaxed position with his hands down at his sides from a distance between 18-24 inches. Not only was he amazingly quick, but he could read you too. He could pick up on small subtle things that you were getting ready to do and then he'd just shut you down".J

Bruce Lee was such a student of the martial arts, that if he was alive today, he would be training in MMA and with he reach (6 footer arms) and athleticism, he'd probably do well

1958 (Age 18): Bruce enters the 1958 Boxing Championships and defeats the reigning three year champion Gary Elms. 1959 (Age 19):
that would the junior college BOXING MATCH(not mma/ or even karate)
we all know how well boxers do in MMA

Bruce Lee if alive today and young might have dominated the Featherwieght and under classes.He was only 5'7" and never wieghed more than150 lbs.Leightwieght and above MMAists might just be too powerful for a guy that size since they were cutting down and he would be somewhere high for his build.That being said he would have been awsome in MMA with the amount of talent he had and proper training, who knows?

Find a record of all of Tank Abbots fight's before he entered the UFC. Before the UFC he wasn't a fighter right? Come on man, you sound like a 13 year old.

I have to agree with nWo on this one......
You guys are all Crazy!!!
The guy was a MOVIE STAR!!
You know Van Damme would do that well either even tho he won that Tourny in Blood Sport...
Bruce Lee was nothing more then a Jackie Chan of yester year......They make more MOVIES about the guy after he died..TELLING YOU WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE about how great of a fighter he was(causeing this myth we have today) and you boneheads buy into it!!!
Anyways....
Give me Tank over Lee anyday of the week!

No, I know Van Damme (in his prime) might do well because of his full-contact kickboxing experience, and because of his knowledge of Muay Thai.
The martial arts actors are often excellent martial artists (and mediocre actors). Jet Li was a Wu Shu forms champion in China. I believe Chuck Norris is the only non-Korean to have been awarded a 4th degree black belt in Tang Soo Do. Steven Seagal is a "Shichi-Dan" (7th-degree black belt) in Aikido. Heck, Dolph Lundgren is a former European heavyweight full-contact karate champion - he actually would break Sylvester Stallone if he wanted to.
Debating whether any of this would translate into MMA is the whole point of this thread, but writing these guys off as "just actors" only shows that you don't know what you're talking about.
Thanks for playing, we have some lovely parting gifts for you.

I am agreeing with nWo on this one. It's ridiculous to say a Martial Arts Movie Star could do anymore than some flashy strikes before getting taken down and pounded out.
Van Damme, Segal, Lee, Li, etc. They are all great in what they do, and that is perform martial art moves on a silver screen ... Couture, Fedor, Penn, Shogun, etc. They are all great in what they do, and that is fight in a cage or ring.

One question, was the UFC around when Lee was alive? No. Was there any mma orgs back then? Nope. Why do you think he was in movies? He was an actual MA fighter. Get real here, Lee wasn't "just a movie star". Do your research. He thought up ways to maximis power...his size means nothing. All I have to say to you guys who say he's "just a movie star" do you research, try some of the things he was able to get his body to do(one inch punch, 2 fingerd push ups, unstoppable punch, ect.). See when you guys say he was just an actor it just makes everyone who knows something about Lee ignore any good info you might be putting out there, don't spout out purly ignorant things if you want people to view your points as valid. Does Micky Rourke have any training? your just being ignorant.

well what do you think football players are timed with when they run theyre 40s?? electric timers because it gives perfect times. and id love to see someone try and get in on a takedown in .05 seconds its just not physicaly possibble.

actually i have several of Mickey's Kickboxing fights
Mickey Rourke (born September 16, 1953 [disputed, 1950 also cited]), is an American actor who has primarily appeared in drama, action, and thriller films. Trained as a boxer in his early years, he had a short stint as a professional boxer in the 1990s.
At the age of 12, Rourke won his first boxing match as a 118 pound bantamweight. Some of his early matches were fought as Andre Rourke. He continued his boxing training at the famed 5th Street Gym in Miami Beach, Florida; joining the Police Athletic League boxing program. In 1969, Rourke, now weighing 140lbs., sparred with former World Welterweight Champion Luis Rodriguez. Rodriguez was the number one rated middleweight boxer in the world, and was training for his match with world champion Nino Benvenuti. Rourke claims to have received a concussion in this sparring match. In 1971, at the Florida Golden Gloves, he received another concussion from a boxing match. He was told by doctors to take a year off and rest, but Rourke decided to retire from the ring. From 1968 to 1972, Mickey Rourke compiled an amateur boxing record of 20-6, with 17 knockouts. He was disqualified 4 times, and lost 2 decisions. At one point, he reportedly scored 12 consecutive first round knockouts. As an amateur, Rourke had been friendly with pro-boxer Tommy Torino. When Rourke decided to return to boxing as a professional, Torino promoted some of Rourke's fights. Rourke was trained by former pro-boxer Freddie Roach at Miami Beach's 5th Street Gym and the Outlaw Boxing Club Gym in Los Angeles. Rourke made $250 for his pro debut, but by the end of his 2nd year of boxing, he earned a million dollars. Rourke appeared on the cover of World Boxing Magazine in June 1994. He sparred with world champions James Toney, John David Jackson, and Tommy Morrision. Rourke wanted to have 16 professional fights and then fight for a world title. However, he retired after 7 bouts and never got his desired title fight. His boxing career resulted in severe facial injuries which required a number of operations to repair his damaged face.
So IMO MICKEY>BRUCE
i got that from a google search
failry easy
bruce is much harder to find any fights(due to lack of any)
can you produce any fights other than A BOXING MATCH WHEN HE WAS 18 for Bruce?
