How long would bruce lee last with Fedor?

[Stringer]

Bruce Lee would have no interest in fighting Fedor. He'd be about 66 years old today! Bruce was a realist...as he would say, "I'd be the baddest 66 year old around!" More than likely he'd seek out a guy like Fedor to train him and see if he could make him even better.
Now...if you're saying would Bruce in his prime fight Fedor in his prime. Bruce would possibly take the challenge if it were truly no holds barred. One of Bruce's main weapons was the biu jee (ie., eye gouge) No way would he fight a guy Fedor's size without every option available, including joint manipulation, biting, etc.
Here's one of Bruce's original students, Ted Wong on Bruce:


Bruce always wanted to stay away from the martial arts being used as a sport. I think he tended to stay away from it as a sport because you could not fully utilize the art or its potential. It was not the ultimate martial art unless it was "anything *goes." Bruce wanted to practice an art that he could use. No holds barred, no holding back, anything goes- that was his philosophy. But I think today Bruce would also like the sport portion of martial arts because you develop speed, power and timing- things you can apply to sharpen your skills.

As far as no*holds*barred tournaments like the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), I don't think Bruce would enter something like that. The UFC still has some limitations to it, even though they refer to it as ultimate fighting. There are still rules that say you can't do this or that. But I think as a test of your skills, Bruce would like it.

He loved it when he was training Joe Lewis. He would be at Joes fights.

This wasn't funny to me, sorry.

Boy, tough crowd tonight.

Boy, tough crowd tonight.

Know any lawyer jokes?

[Mephariel]

A least a minute. Dodge a couple of punches, dance around a while...

Fedor will probably then knock him out or submit him.

Know any lawyer jokes?

This lawyer walks in a bar and sits down next to an old drunk. The drunk is looking crosseyed at something in his palm in amazement, and repeating over and over "looks like plastic...feels like rubber! Looks like plastic, feels like rubber!"

The lawyer asks "excuse me, sir, what have you got there?" The drunk answers "I dunno, but it looks like plastic and feels like rubber." The lawyer asks if he can see, so the drunk rolls it up in his fingers and hands it over.

The lawyer pokes and prods at it between his fingers for a few moments, and sure enough, it looks like plastic but it feels like rubber. "This is really quite remarkable," says the lawyer. "Where did you get it?"

The drunk says "outta my nose."

i think Fedor is the perfect example of "water". bruce would not want to fight with limitations....

[thtackett]

Don't know! Don't care!

[Britt]

Nothing more tiresome than another Bruce Lee vs. ???? thread.

Bruce Lee versus the Riddler? I'd definitely go with Bruce on that one.

[Tom Yum]

Two words: Zombie Lee.

[Tee Sok]

Actually, watching the last Fedor-Nogueira fight I could see that Fedor was constantly adapting to all situations, having immediate counters for every situation Minotauro put him into. He was really adapting and litterarly flowing in every action. It was really impressive.
And, wasn't this what Bruce Lee had always said and done? Wasn't he the one who always said to see and train beyond styles? One thing is sure, he would have continued to do so and to improve. For me MMA are a sport version of what Lee was doing, with different "ingredients", especially bjj and an improved muay thai.

[lorenzodamarith]

No, no, that's not what would happen at all. You see, Bruce Lee would beat Fedor.

Since this is the internet and all, I do have to point out that Lee was, and is, simply incapable of being defeated. Bruce Lee in his lifetime beat up thousands of men, women and children, most of them at the same time, receiving only a small cut on his upper lip for his troubles, which did not bleed. A 40 story building, a shipload of iron ore, and a Boeing B-29 Superfortress once challenged Bruce Lee to a four-way death match; none was ever heard from again. Bruce Lee is widely regarded by most paleontologists to have traveled back in time and beat up the dinosaurs, causing their extinction. Bruce Lee soundly defeated the color brown. Pangea is believed to have separated after it lost a bet against Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee is the unrecognized and uncredited winner of the last nine Super Bowls. Bruce Lee once got in a fight with the air and beat the shit out of it; this is the reason that people now get asthma. in 1959, Bruce Lee traveled to the bottom of the Marianas trench to challenge it to a fight, but the trench backed out. Bruce Lee voluntarily left the Garden of Eden three days before Adam and Eve after leg wrestling the unicorns into submission. Mars was a moon of the Earth before being kicked out of orbit by Bruce Lee. Cheese in Bruce Lee's refrigerator never went bad because he would fist fight the mold nightly before bed. When he rose again the next morning, his pants would fly onto his legs rather than fight him. The movie "Return of the Dragon" climaxes with a scene in which it appears that Bruce Lee's character kills Chuck Norris' character, however, this is not what actually is occurring; the scene is actual footage of the fight which will occur at the end of time in which Bruce Lee will kill Chuck Norris, resulting in the destruction of the universe.

So, in summation, Bruce Lee would win.

hello,

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

that was awesomely funny!!!

thanks

I thought this was meant to be a JKD forum? Everyone is dissing the founder!! I'm glad I'm a wing chunner where no-one ever takes the micky out of our art.......

Personally, these discussions are silly - how can you ever know what would happen in the fight. Bruce was quite explosive and there is the possibility that he could get a lucky shot in to Fedor.

Fedor is a modern day fighter with access to the best trainers and fighters in the world.

Bruce in his day was cut off from most of the other Chinese martial artists (who hated him) in America and arts such as BJJ, Muay Thai etc were not that well known.

It is like asking who would win in a battle of Napoleonic troops and modern day soldiers....

As for Bruce Lee - we don't truly know how good he was as he never entered into sport based tournament. All I know is that he has inspired a generation of exceptional martial artists and that is enough to earn my respect

[Garland]

I think I heard a word that sums up this little phenomenon... Quixotic. Really, look that shit up.

Yeah...but you'd trust a ho several hundred years old named Ng Moy.
Ng Moy...I don't even have to touch that for that to be funny.
