Bruce Lee was an elite striker. But did he ever fight a grappler?
In their prime...in a cage...Bruce Lee vs Royce Gracie? Would be greatest sport fight event ever. But id put money on Gracie...and I dont think the fight would even last very long.
I'm not sure Bruce had any real fights. He was an actor, not a professional fighter. Gracie for sure.
Bruce Lee was the real thing, he was a fighter who acted, not an actor who fought. Thats why his acting was really not so good. He might not match up against the best grappler, but he wasnt a fake. He helped to shape martial arts in the US as we know it
I've never heard of any fights. What titles did he win?
Ha Ha , ok, evrybody hating on Bruce Lee. Im just saying he was a real fighter. Im not saying he held titles or fought as a prize fighter, He probably wasnt interested in that.
He was however a street fighter in china before his parents sent him away. He studied traditional boxing, karate, and Kungfu. I know he did fight in some tournamants, and probably mostly inter school tournaments.
Do you think Bruce Lee was afraid of a real fight? that he was only an actor? if so your misled. Look at the people he trained, some of them went on to great careers, Chuck Norris comes to mind. If he wasnt a fighter, theres no way he would have been a martial arts instructor. He was smart enough to know he could make more money in movies than fighting in a ring.
