fighting is chaotic and messy unlike on film where you get 100 perfectly choreographed takes to shoot a cool scene. was he a good fighter? the world will never know... he only fought i think once in public and won and once in private and got destroyed.

i just personally think its silly to compare Bruce Lee to any other MMA fighter that is training 6 days a week and say "Bruce Lee could defeat them" - what would that assumption be based on? Watching Enter the Dragon? Bruce Lee was famous for a lot of reasons... none of those reasons include being a great fighter.
