Bruce's legacy is made up from myth mixed with reality. Since he was rarely documented on video demonstrating his skill against other opponents, we have to rely on "He said, she said" rumors from people who knew him.

He trained relentlessly in multiple disciplines....

He obsessed over form and technique....

He beat cacs on screen with no fukks given....

Off that alone I'd say yes, if Brendan Schuab can make it in the UFC, Bruce Lee can :smugdraper:

Bruce would never fight in a competitive arena like the UFC.
The dude shied away from demonstrations and sport. If he wasn't fighting for his life, training or teaching, he wasn't fighting.

If you wanna question Bruce Lee's strength OK. But his speed was incredible. Not to mention Bruce.studied Judo and Wrestling so its not like he wouldn't have been able to develop a ground game should he go down. Especially as some who would be in the 135-140 lb range.

Bruce Lee is an actor, never a professional fighter.
I think he might have been a HK amateur boxer, but that was it.
After that he did cha cha dancing and acting.

Asking how he would do in any full contact sport is about as dumb as asking if Stallone could have beat Ali because he was in a movie series named Rocky.

Yeah, that's easy to say for back THEN, but if it was now... and Bruce had them rent checks to pay... :usure:

Bruce is apart of the culture.Back to the Cooley High days.


Our parents/grandparents loved him


and passed it down to us.Shag with the karate shoes.


I had a NOI brother tell me Bruce was on the mothership


training an army of black soldiers.


The man is something kinda sacred:ufdup:


I'm not touching his legacy with any of the would've? could've? should've?


He is what he is to the people.
