- In today's BlueGum video we will see how Bruce lee would do against modern MMA fighters!
Bruce Lee is the greatest legend in martial arts and combat sports history, even though he never fought professionally. So, of course, the question arises: Would bruce Lee stand a chance against modern MMA fighters and how would he fare in the UFC, the largest mixed martial arts organization in the world.
Nowadays, many people think that Bruce Lee would surely lose because he was an actor and not a professional fighter. In reality however, he was more than that, after all, he basically invented MMA in the first place.

Maybe try out martial arts, people like you who think he was an actor probably never saw a gym from the inside.
Anyone who trains and performs martial arts think that Bruce Lee is the best including world champions like McGregor.
@Sonic The Artist ok boomer
If you were to pluck Bruce Lee out of time and drop him into a modern MMA match then sorry he’ll lose simply because martial arts has evolved so much since his time. However if you reincarnate him, body and mind. Allow him to train and learn modern styles and disciplines and fighters today wouldn’t stand a chance. He has the mindset and physical attributes every fighter dreams of. And for all who say he’s just an actor. Danny Trejo is also an actor but I wouldn’t pick a fight with him
The title should be: “Do modern MMA fighters stand a chance against Bruce Lee?”

He's not the standard at all...at least not in the martial arts community
@K B way do you mean ?
K B do u mean he is way above standards
@Langdon Alger You don't know me so please don't tell me what I'm a part of or not a part of, granted Bruce Lee brought martial arts to the western world, and has inspired many Martial Artists today, including my self, but only through his movies, he has never been recorded fighting, and he would get knocked down, and submitted if he fought in an MMA organization today, as he had no ground game what so ever, and most fights end up on the ground as we all know.
@Langdon Alger bruce lee was ahead of his time and laid the groundwork of mma but if we took bruce lee at his best and put him against a ranked ufc fighter that has had decades to build upon what bruce thought the outcome would be grime for bruce

@@Northwindbreeze agreed
Because the thought experiment involves transporting him with a time machine. The question is whether or not Bruce Lee then could beat an MMA fighter now. Keep up. This isn't exactly complex.
They did address that question briefly in the video. I think they didn't spend enough time on it. Yeah, if he was motivated to compete in MMA, he would surely have integrated some grappling into his style. At least enough to block or counter an opponent's ground game.
Athletes today aren't actually better they just have the advantage and advancements of science and technology. Can you imagine athletes back then with those things.

Bruce lee could be called super human with his body AND mindset when it comes to fighting.
@@Xogroroth666 Iv never seen him fight are you sure
I once heard that they had to ask him to slow down on set because the the camera recordings became too blurred.
That rumor is... technically true, but phrased to be highly misleading. Why?
Because it's not specific to Bruce Lee.
That's just how movie choreography is, even with amateurs who only got two weeks of training before filming their fight scene.
Slowing down and intentionally telegraphing movement is:
1. first and foremost, it's a valuable safety measure.
The whole point of IRL martial arts is to catch your opponent off-guard, often by acting too quickly and unexpectedly for them to react. Theatrical combat is a team effort, since it relies on two or more cooperating parties following a painstakingly constructed sequence step by step. It's easier for the actors to read each other's tells and not botch the timing of the choreographed sequence. Getting the timing wrong not only wastes time in setting up for another take, it also invites potentially serious injuries.
2. it helps the audience more easily register exactly what is going on so that everyone is able to follow along on the first play-through, even on tiny screens or when the camera is shooting from a distance away. This is why on-screen knife-fights always involve holding their knife front and center, waving them around, often with the blade twisted unnaturally head-on towards the camera to make sure the metal glints brilliantly and menacingly. (Compare that to IRL where you would simply walk up to a target with the knife obscured at your side until it's time to shank the other dude a couple times in the groin before running away. It gets the job done, but it's anti-climactic as all fuck to watch.)
@@HipposHateWater you got too much time on your hands
@@campbellsjournal6537 atleast he is well informed.
@@HipposHateWater Sure... but not exactly what I meant... well let's say that usually the visual effects team plays around with the movement speed a bit. From what I've heard, the camera didn't catch enough of Bruce's movements to play around with. Then again, it could really be what you said. I wasn't there so wouldn't know the truth.
they did ask him but he have another idea instead he did full speed but slow down in the production studio when they did edit it that is how slow motion did come into movie world after that more production studio starting to use slowmotion ex: like jackie chan movies & Jet Li movies
MMA fans: u can whoop Bruce lee
The pro fighters: *looks away like they heard nothing*
Bruce Lee chickened out of a ton of fights, that's why there are no videos of him fighting professionally or against anyone with skill. Fanboys who think Bruce is a god also believe bullshit martial arts like Wing Chun can actually be used to fight people. youtube "MMA vs Wing Chun".

People that say Bruce Lee was famous for his acting have no idea what acting is, or never watched his films. Bruce Lee’s acting sucked, what made his films good was his knowledge and execution of martial arts.
I loved his acting. But it’s true that it’s not his acting that made Bruce Lee so great
Correct but a demonstration is a not a fight
"Bruce Lee’s acting sucked, what made his films good was his knowledge and execution of martial arts"
Plus he had a phenomenal physique for a guy who only weighed in the 140-150lb range.
Yea in the same way Michael Jai White or Scott Adkins films are good. They aren’t oscar level actors. Why are their movies good? Because it’s make belief. It doesn’t mean they’d destroy everyone in the ufc like in their scripts. Same goes for bruce. Nothing but an actor.
Yup, I only watch Bruce Lee movies to see him beat people up 🤣🤣🤣
Imagine how fast Bruce would learn with todays equipment, diet, google and youtube. He's a learning machine and I believe he would be champion with ease. ~Be water!
I think god nerved him by not putting him into our era, like you said with everything available to us now this guy would've been even more broken then he already was... if such a thing is even remotely possible that is lol.
I think if Bruce Lee was alive today he would maybe win about 50% of his UFC fights. I say this because he would be about 78 years old.
Paul Weston Noice.
If he was alive today, and at his peak prime time, Bruce Lee would have a perfect record against anybody alive in the world.
ramazan tanbi lol, now that’s funny. You think fighting on a world stage would bother him? You could put him in front of a million people or in an alley alone with his opponent and it won’t matter. Bruce would come out on top.
W
He would be 79 on 27 of November 2019
If Bruce Lee was 30 years ahead of his time in the 60s-70s, imagine how ahead of the curve he would be in the today if he was in his prime. His philosophy would guide MMA to another new level.
He may have been a coach aswell😳
Milad Zavar why do u say that?
(´⊙ω⊙`)
School will now teaching martial art
UCHIHA MASSACRE yea exactly your right
So Bruce didn't weigh hardly anything but could hit like a big guy with the speed of a cheetah. That's what I'm getting from this.
With the arm reach of a 6 foot man
He can hit idle stunt men and still objects 🤣
His speed was always his best asset
I've read that he was fastest when he was at 59kg. He bulked up to be around 65-67kg then he complained that slow him down.
Only his fanboys claim he hits like a big guy. It is impossible by the law of physics but that is too much to understand for simple minds.
Ask any fighter if they rather be hit by Lee or Tyson, you will be disappointed in hearing their replies.
There is a video of Bruce vs Joe Lewis (formal world karate and kick boxer champion) doing a punch on a guy. Most has seen bruce's part where he knock the guy back on the chair and then the chair slides back like 5 feet. But there is one where Joe Lewis punches the guy too first, and he basically stepped back 3 to 5 steps, staying standing and stopped. And this was a time no one knows Bruce, no one wants him to look good, especially next to Joe Lewis. But no one can argue against video recorded results. I also played some bruce's video footage next to modern day fast boxers (mma fighters generally punches a lot slowers obviously) like Amir Khan, and Bruce is as fast as them easily. (I won't lie and say Bruce is 20% faster or anything) but he is just as fast if not faster sometimes. But the crazy thing is a lot of his kicks are just as fast comparing video frame by frame. No idea about Bruce's grappling, but striking, if he wants to hit you.. he is gonna hit you. I mean you had guys that spent their entire lives practice block and dodging and punching, and Bruce stands a fair distance away that requires a movement of gap closer, then a punch, and he tells them exactly where he is gonna land, and he still lands every time. I mean it's relatively easier to do a fast jab and not having the other guy able to block, but having to gap close then do it and have pros not able to block knowing exactly where he is trying to hit, that's something special. I don't see anyone replicating this even til this day.
Joe Lewis is standing with his legs next to each and if anyone does that, pushing someone over with just one finger is easy to do. There is a reason that real fighters are never caught with their legs next to each other.
If there are no videos of Bruce fighting real good fighters, then his fighting skills are just like the martial arts Wing Chung he learned when he was younger. Fake.
Fighters who don't spar a lot of other fighters are not real fighters
@@inframatic --- Bruce Lee could drop you with one punch
@@inframatic Fighting skills? If you would just take him and place him, maybe it would have been difficult.
But fighting skills are also about discipline, training, dedication, speed , form and all sorts of this stuff, which i think he would pretty much have the skill, he just had to adapt to the fighting in UFC (just like a boxer would when fighting against muay thai fighters).
And the video mentioned he did in fact spar, and also kinda used they idea of MMA using certain fighting techniques.
@@inframatic ...? Just because there isn't any videos of him really fighting doesn't mean his fighting skills are fake. There are many people in the world that haven't been recorded fighting that could beat a mma fighter and maybe they learned to fight for self defence... I know crazy right... 🤯
@@Yatagarasu1900 like navy Seals and other special forces around the world im sure, but those guys are trained to kill not just to fight, they wouldn't beat any of these UFC guys in a fight though 🤔
In Connor McGregor's cocky days he once said that "if you want to beat me,then you need to bring back bruce lee"
That was actually in the video...
@@Und34d_R yeah but he said that once before aswell at that time he was much cockier
Fuck McGregor. He was just the next big thing in his craft. Extremely talented, yes, but not anymore so than anyone else in UFC history. To become a legend is to take many paths and he hasn’t walked far enough yet in my eyes.
Now chael sonnen......well, cmon.... legendary.
But he lost to Khabib....so that doesn't say much for McGregor.
Micah Bell anything can happen in a fight. Having one fight doesn’t determine who’s better. Do a series of three and then decide.

Unfortunately there is no rest for the unrepentant and the disbelievers in the lake of fire and brimstone. Where there is weeping and the gashing of teeth.

bottomline, bruce was ahead of his time.. his legacy is undeniable
He would have been a TERROR in The Ring.

No contest. Bruce was a phenomenon, an enigma beyond MMA!
He would get schooled by current ufc fighters
Honestly, we may never know. But we do know he was beyond his time and pioneered many of the concepts of modern MMA. That in itself has my respect.
Bruce punished a jab with a snapping roundhouse to the face. Show me any modern fighter who has even remotely close to that speed and reaction time.
There are people, but most choose to stay out of the spotlight. It takes a special type of person to do what ufc fighters do. Really.

Bruce Lee doesn't have to be the best martial artist in MMA to be the best martial arts philosopher in fighting history. His out of the box thinking must seem so obvious to most of us now but he's one of the only people that popularized the idea of formless form, the way of no way. For that, he is the greatest legend. I do believe he would do very well in MMA if he was in modern times.
Exactly the fact that he wasn’t a professional fighter doesn’t mean he wasn’t a legit martial artist, one respected by genuine fighters of the time. People don’t understand that Lee was a revolutionary and did something dangerous in breaking away from traditional martial arts conservatives. He modernized fighting by treating martial arts not just as a philosophy, or spiritual expression, but as a science. Jeet Kune Do developed the modernization of martial arts and the philosophical underpinnings of of modern MMA. Bruce Lee was the one who changed martial arts worldwide forever, and angered the traditional communities for it. He should be treated as the founding father of modern martial arts, because he is
He is adaptive he could use his techniques to the best
It’s not about his philosophy. It’s his skills people talk shit about. When you really dismantle the argument it’s absolutely ridiculous. There isn’t anyone else that has the notes, books, documents, training schedules, wooden dummy wrapped in street metal, judo champions of the time that were over 200lbs speaking on camera how they couldn’t even touch him. He was outweighed by 50 to 100% lbs and could literally do what he wanted with these so called “champions” there are countless documented accounts, eyewitness accounts, of his skills and abilities. There is thousands of writings on him. He had a library of over 2000 books, there are photos online showing him with his books. All of them to do with unarmed
Combat, weapons combat, philosophy.
As much as people try to discredit him there’s so much evidence supporting the narrative of his power, speed, and his skill set. There is an overwhelming amount of first hand accounts by other people who knew him. You HAVE to do your own research to find all this stuff out and it takes a long time. People like chael sonnon, joe rogan, they are all unbelievably misinformed about the guy.
You can tell the people on here who have done their research, they are reasonable people well aware of his real background. It’s very obvious the people who don’t know what they are talking about and consistently make straw man arguments. There was a guy around 50 years ago who literally changed everything to do with martial arts. His influence is EVERYWHERE. Even unrelated to martial arts. He had exceptional speed, power and skill.
There’s no need to be upset about the fact you or I can’t compare with the guy. Let it go, seriously. Whatever chip is on your shoulder that makes haters dislike him so much reeks of insecurity.
Bruce lee was a unique individual who was very intelligent, articulate and well spoken, he just so happened to be incredibly gifted and obsessed with martial arts. This combination took him to heights rarely achieved by many people. It’s not just about physical skill, it’s about being mentally in-tune with oneself and Bruce has this in abundance.
@@patrickadkins2474 I agree with everything you said
At least one person realizes he wasn't a fighter, but an actor with a great vision/idea. Although Bruise Lee would lose to a ring girl in UFC. I am open to arguments, granted you can back them up with facts.
I do contact sports since 1996(Ju-Do, semipro KB-WAKO, amateur MMA). Nothing to brag about achievement wise(blue belts in both, 9W/6L). But i struggle to understand how is one supposed to win an MMA fight without ever sparring, let alone having a full contact fight? You think this peacock imitating twig would just walk in UFC octagon and mash everybody in his path? How? He's a good actor, good shape, fast moves, virgin nose-bridge, never had a fight... Do y'all know something about this actor i don't know? His secret underground 40-0 career or something? Tell me cause i'm going crazy here. No cap.
His Adaptability, & Reactivity would make him quite lethal in the MMA.
Raymond Karl Veasey Which fight of his do you have your opinion off of?
@@TruthfullySpeaking500 This video literally showed Bruce Lee sparring, which IS a fight, Bruce adapted to his opponentnt or, "learned the pattern of his opponent" and gave the fastest roundhouse kick to the head I've ever seen
Bruce Lee was constantly learning new techniques & adapting them to his fighting style. He was training with guys like Gene Lebell, Joe Lewis, Chuck Norris, Robert Wall etc. and was analysing boxing matches of Muhammad Ali and other champions.
He would propably start learning Muay Thai & BJJ if he was still around and incorporate them into his JKD system.
So yeah, he would definetely be a successfull fighter in UFC, if still around & in his prime.
Bruce was aware of muay thai and he never incorporated any techniques from other styles to JKD.
He essentially taught Muhammad ali the accupunch. In which ali knocked out a fighter
He wouldn’t stand a chance against a modern mma fighter. Not even a conversation

His speed and strength (for his wt class) were legendary...but even he admitted his ground game sucked. As a MMA fighter in modern times, he would have had to learn BJ. Knowing his dedication he would have done well.
So...as he was he would have been taken to the mat and lost...but he would have then worked on his weaknesses and corrected them.
Getting him to the mat would mean his opponent was subjected to his blazing speed. His ability to read his opponents and counter were amazing too. But if they could stand to take the hits Bruce would lay out on the way in for a takedown, it would then be a closer fight.
@@coreymunroe8073 he would need to learn take down defense
@@guts7958 And whomever tried to go in there will need to be really fast and be able to take a few hard shots on the way in. Bruce was really good at keeping distance and positioning.
@@coreymunroe8073 I doubt he could stop everyone from taking him down, since most MMA fights end up with two rolling around on the ground
@@guts7958 I'm not saying he could stop everyone. But they better be prepared to take some shots on the way in.
It doesn’t matter if you think that his “style” is outdated. You can’t argue with how quickly he can move and how strong he is.
The reason Lee didn’t fight professionally., was because back then most martial arts professional fights were not full contact. Bruce tried..and failed...to introduce full contact martial arts into the genre. Bruce belief was - you don’t pull punches and kicks in a real fight....so don’t pull them in competitive combat.
I really don't know why people keep referring MMA fighters as the toughest guys in the World??? There are hundreds of thousands quiet guys who don't go out and show off yell and scream and act like retards who could put an mma fighter on their ass in seconds. As far as Bruce Lee is concerned he was a brilliant tacticians fighter, he learned his trait on the streets as a teenager. Yip Man taught Bruce a more flowing style of fighting. Bruce would have been a great challenger in any weight division.
Boxing was full contact, there was nothing stopping him from dropping them like flies if he was so all-powerful.
Clearly he'd be KO'ed in 3 seconds.
How about the PKA ? Joe Lewis / Bill Wallace / Chuck Norris and a little later Benny the Jet were all full contact champions .

@Brick Schitthouse You should probably go learn a thing or two before letting shit fall out of your mouth.
@Brick Schitthouse "organized" MMA was the result of ufc so you're right about that. The actual CONCEPT, of MMA was the result of Bruce however.
@Brick Schitthouse you can disagree all you want but without an actual argument it doesn't mean much.
@Brick Schitthouse yeah from that comment it's clear you just don't get it. Bruce's style, while not specifically referred to as mixed martial arts, was indeed the MMA. "jeet kune do" the formless form, use the same concepts as MMA, taking the good aspects of every martial art and throwing out what's bad
@Brick Schitthouse which is why he is reffered to as the founding father, his style wasn't as complete as MMA today, but he still performed takedowns and submissions, his philosophy is the same as MMA today. A gun created in the 1700's obviously won't be as good as a gun created today, but the same principles and fundamentals apply.
What I find the the funniest is that so many people will tell me, "No, he's so much smaller than these other guys..." Like what?! Do these people not understand that weight classes are a thing? Like give me a break...pound for pound only the best of the best mma guys have a shot at all.
true
You Don't understand the true essence of martial art's, research before you speak.
@@tonyquiroz7360 Except I do...weight, size, and reach are definitely important factors when skill levels are close to one another. MMA fighters use...mixed MARTIAL ARTS...which is literally what Bruce Lee used. If they're in a different weight class he automatically falls into a disadvantage. Perhaps, you don't understand the true essence of martial arts. Maybe you should be the one doing research.
@@KingShadowOmega yep your understand martial arts and fighting alright 👍
Yeah, just google Bruce Lee hitting the Heavyweight champion of Karate with his 1-inch punch technique.
The problem is when people think about this scenario, they believe that it's Bruce as he was in the past vs MMA fighters as they are today. If Bruce was still alive, he would be a masterpiece of a fighter because basically ALL of the things that have been discovered since he passed, would be in his arsenal if he were alive today.
Your thought is the same with me. I think even Bruce as he was in the past can beat most of UFC and MMA fighters due to his unmatched speed and explosive power. I strongly believe he would have to get better if he would have been living longer, as he said there was no limit. He would always try to find a way to improve as time gone by which is similar to evolving technology.

The fact that I got taught from someone that was taught by Bruce Lees best friend is mind boggling, to this day I still remember all the tips and tricks that had been taught

#2 Bruce Lee had fantastic philosophy
#3 Bruce Lee had FAR more time to study the Strengths & Weaknesses of LOTS of different Martial Arts. He removed the weaknesses and gained their strengths.
#4 Bruce Lee didn't just make advancements in Fighting Philosophy, but in Health. He did Protein Shakes and created his own Multivitamin stuff BEFORE it became popular.
#5 Bruce Lee studied with some of the best fighters in their respective disciplines.
#6 Bruce Lee didn't even have the advantage of HIgh Quality Tech to review fights either!! Just imagine if he could easily slow down and speed up and rewatch ALL the best fighters. If he could do that with ALL his OWN fights. With other people's fights.
Bruce Lee would have been INSANELY good. I mean this is the kind of fighter born Once in a Generation AT LEAST. If not Once in 50 Years or 100 Years.
Bruce Lee would probably have to start doing things to make fights harder on himself just so people could have a chance to defeat him.

Well Bruce Lee was a really disciplined martial artist who didn't fear pain and physical contact, I am not sure if he would win against a proffesional fighter, but I am sure he would put a good fight and maybe come back some months after training 24/7 MMA techniques then he would kick even more asses.
I think Bruce Lee would dominate his weight class for many years until he got bored and moved on.
yes that s right

Cool vid. I always say that this is similar in any sports. Take tennis as an example, you will see lots of comments about those pro players are 4.0s or 5.0s but what they don't realize is the filming distance, camera framerate, fisheye lens, post processing, highlight bias can easily manipulate the impression of someone's skill. In the vid I saw about bruce lee, the reason he is so good is because the insane amount of explosive power and consistency which to some people who never really fight might not be that obvious or flashy thus they undermine him. If you put bruce lee in front of you and multiple the speed you saw in the vid by 2x plus, you will see how insane Bruce lee fight, he can practically ends the fight right there for a lot of people who had slower reflexes as his kick and punch is almost instant to the opponent.
The one thing that will make bruce lee a monster in today's MMA is his ability to adapt. Be like water, my friend!
You rusty, bro. His built and the discipline of his mind was something too. He's what they would call a legendary prodigy.

Now, I'm not sure how Lee would act during a take down or in a ground fight but I know he'll thoroughly study everything it takes to defeat his opponent in the octagon. There are videos of Bruce Lee displaying his brute strength and speed to give you a perspective on how successful he will be at studying Brazilian Jujitsu. Although, we can only speculate on how the fight goes, Bruce Lee did not gain his legendary status by just sitting around. Bruce Lee actually thought of MMA because he saw how every fighting style has their advantages and disadvantages. Notices how Lee dances around like a boxer in some videos, cause it works so he uses it. Hope this helps. :-)

he was an actor on 1st place, its said he would defeat some dudes who challenged him but thats about it, could he defeat guys who are earning $ just for fighting? unlikley..
Romanticized nostalgia aside, no, Bruce Lee would likely not fare well against professional MMA fighters.
If he could train in his prime under modern standards he would do well. He was very adaptable and pragmatic.
Bruce Lee was an actor and a real and hardened fighter. He didn’t fight professionally or in any tournament unless he was challenged which when in the peak of his career, he was challenged many times because many people then doubted him just like today in our modern era, many doubted him and think him of just an actor that would lose in just 5 seconds. Bruce wasn’t a professional fighter because he hated all the rules, limitations and principles he had to follow in those professional fights, so he retired to street fighting where there were no rules and was the closest thing you got to MMA.
And also people are mistaking the question here. The question is does he stand a chance. Not will he win. And also why not? What’s so astounding about the possibility that a legend like Bruce Lee would stand a chance against modern UFC and MMA fighters? The key word here is legend, meaning that we don’t know much about him. So to those people who use the fact that he’s an actor to prove that he won’t stand a chance against fighters today is idiotic. If we don’t know so much about him, we can’t even begin to phantom what he can do or cannot do. So how about we all stop arguing and asking nonsensical questions like these.
How about we just appreciate his lifelong work and accomplishments to the Martial Arts World and plus, how he fought against prejudice and discrimination against the Chinese, which is another reason as to why Bruce is someone to be respected.

Bruce Lee did an incredible amount for mma. He was a pioneer in that he started meshing different styles of fighting. He was in great shape and very athletic and no doubt was a good martial artist. But against a modern day MMA fight unfortunately lee wouodnt stand a chance. Most of his fighting styles were the less effective ones like karate TKD and such. MMA has come a long way since bruce and training has become much more advanced.
this is true
bruce lee trained in the arts of self-defense. he would try to end the fight asap with lethal attacks. MMA fighters are sport athletes who fight for points. it's like comparing a sniper rifle vs a paintball gun. paintball goes for points, objectives, etc. bruce goes for the coup de grace. a lot of what he is capable of is probably illegal in the ring anyways like aiming for weak spots: eyes organs, pressure points, joints. if he were to fight (realistically) he'd probably poke in the face/ neck/ torso and finish in one strike.
Excuse me? It's illegal to go for joints? What about all the arm bars, heel hooks etc.?
