Let me give you some gems
"Mike Tyson's Uppercut was rumored to have the same force as bruce lee's punch"
"So if a submission guy runs after bruce, and he palm hits the dude on his forehead, its GAME OVER. The guy will be on the floor drooling waiting for a strecher."
"don't think Gracie would stand a chance getting close enough to Bruce by being able to dodge ALLL the punches and kicks that Bruce could throw at him before Gracie would actually be able to grab his body. See how fast Bruce punches in the videos? He could proably hit Gracie with 7 punches and 3 kicks beforce Gracie was within his range.... "
"he was possibly the perfect combination of speed, power, knowledge and adaptability"
"some rules of UFC:
NO
Eye gouging of any kind
Groin attacks of any kind
Small joint manipulation
Throat strikes of any kind
those rule and the ring might handicap Bruce Lee somewhat, but I don't know if Gracie could dodge Lee's strikes. Getting hit in the head by Bruce Lee is no joke.
If it's a free street fight then Bruce Lee will certainly win with a simple "nut cracker" strike"
"Actually the 1-inch punch is an old martial arts strike. Bruce Lee never really fully mastered it because he was never taught it. It is a sternum kill strike if you are in a hold. Yes, it would break your bones."
"t is true though. In a real fight with no holds bar, grappling can't work by itself for this very reason. nut grabbing, eye gouging, ear tearing, biting... are all fair game. That is why body to body grappling is very dangerous unless you have the perfect position on the person (legs wrapped on their back above the head them on the floor). Otherwise it can be very dangerous.
I think there is a clip somewhere of Bruce Lee saying that if you are in a choke hold, act on instinct and bite the person. In his books he was all about using wahtever resource was available to fight with.
Again though, even in a UFC fight Bruce Lee is too powerful and fast to let it get to the floor. "
"Bruce Lee was an experienced grappler. I don't believe there is any proof that he was as good as any BJJ, and I don't think he was, but honestly with his strength and speed even a blocked blow could knock a person unconscious. "
"i think this thread is more about trying to redeem Gracie into the likes of a legend by standing him side by side with Bruce Lee"
"No, I haven't seen every UFC match, but why do we never see these guys use pressure points? Killing arms and legs for example. I see them beat on the other guy's legs but what I want to see is the guy who kicks and when the guy blocks he hits a pressure point rendering the guys leg useless. This is where the stand up guys could really entertain us."
"Do you honestly think that the gracies have ever been punched by someone as skilled and as fast as Lee? "
"Bruce would own, why?
Bruce is trained to bite, eye-gouge, and kill a man's babies
Gracie would still be trying to shoot and perform submission holds while his eyes are gouged out....."
any many more!!
