Bruce Lee V.S. Fedor Emelianenko

Wow. Just...wow. Anyone who says Fedor would win this fight is ignorant and has watched too much TV, plain and simple. Weight means nothing, combat rules mean nothing. That's the last thing I'm going to say in this regard.

The same could be said about Bruce...

chuck norris would beat both of them up.

Bruce Lee already defeated that noob Chuck Norris.

As much as I like Lee, I think Fedor would beat the **** out of him.

Going with Lee is nothing more than an act of pure faith.Paladin_King

Yeah, i think you´re stretching it a tad now.

Even the oldest JKD curriculum speaks volumes of Lee´s combat insight.I see your point, there are practical tangible evidence of Fedor´s fighting prowess, but you´re ignoring the books depicting Lee´s combat theories (among other factors,Lee having fought numerous martial arts experts, and winning the fights, and also accepting daily challenges from martial artists flocking from north, east, south and west when shooting in China.)

Act of pure faith? You sound like a fanboy defending his console now, generalizing and putting a motif you deem fitting into the reasoning of others. You know your Fedor, but you obviously know nothing of Lee.

I'm sorry but Bruce Lee is built up like some super-human ninja. He was an actor, not a professional fighter. Emelianenko is a professional fighter who has a weight advantage. Not to mention he is still alive; zombies are generally easy to kill.Loonie

wow.

Bruce Lee fought professionally btw.

Yes, but it´s not sponsored by Dana White, so it never happened.

Depends.

Bruce Lee would dominate in street battles, but in an arena, Fedor could simply sit on him :|

Bruce Lee is an actor with flowery words and no actual martial arts competition experience. He would surely die.monaroCountry

LOL This is great.. :lol:

I just have to say, I can't believe anyone would even ask this question.

Bruce Lee, no contest.

He was after all, one of the greatest martial arts masters, EVER.

A great writer, a great actor and a great thinker in martial arts are not necessarily great at martial arts. Essentially this is what Bruce Lee is all about, he is not a pure and tested martial arts fighter but more of an actor/thinker. As for Sambo, it might be wise for everyone to look at this video showcasing the history of the sport and how it is ideally suited to a no holds barred street fight.monaroCountry

"not necessarily great at martial arts."

You don´t know anything about Bruce Lee, apparently. Go brush up on your martial arts history, it´s in dire need. He has taken down WC grandmasters - can you even comprehend how difficult that is? Im talking people sporting 10-12 punches per second while they moonkick your knees. Atleast take out the time to view both sides of the story before you land a conclusion.

As for you saying "no holds barred street fight", Fedor has NEVER fought against anyone practicing kino muay thai techniques, he would get obliterated in a street fights against Lee, because Lee really fights THAT dirty. Weight has nothing to do with this, mucle mass has nothing to do with this.

You can´t train your eyes to not leave your skullsockets, just like you cant train your ears to not get ripped off, or your nosebone getting palmed intoyour brain.

Fedor would mash his face in too much of a size difference Mkavanaugh77

size means so little in a street fight. I guess you never tried fighting for your life in the streets to know this

when i trained JKD, i took down guys every now and then that were twice my dimensional size because i obsessively targeted every part of the body you can´t train. A lock is a lock, popping it doesent take strength,it takes technique.Fedor is an amazing fighter, i´ve seen the videos, he has great technique and versatility and deserves to be where he´s at, but he is not dirty enough, far from it.

Elbows to the face ain´t dirty, same as headbutting, that´s actually the minimum standard. He has no idea what he is getting himself into, were he ever to fight Lee in a hypothetical scenario.

Bruce Lee was ungodly fast..

human reaction time is approximately .15 seconds. he could have one of your eyes in his hand before you knew the fight started

If Bruce Lee didn't appear in the movies I'd take him much more seriously.. but based on the documentary I saw of hm.. he's probably the greatest all around fighter the world has ever seen. And I don't even know who Fedor Emelianenko even is.. so I'm going to have to vote for Bruce Lee.

Fedor of course maybe a little of a struggle but a easy win. You guys are forgetting bruce lee was a pacifists and didn't fight. Alot of people called him out to fight to see if he really was skilled but he always refused. So he would bascially get his *** handed to him

FreezeBlast95

Not true at all. He would beat their asses. People challenged him on movie sets, at his house and on the street all the time. He wouldn't fight them all but he would fight some and those he did, he never lost.

Dude is the best fighter ever, i just wanna see him fight silva tougjh

He fought proffesionally for a long time. What are you talking about?

Can you even really compare the two?

Fedor is a great MMA fighter, really great, but Bruce Lee was undeniably a really great "martial artist", in the sense that he practised a form of asian martial art (i realise that MMA is itself a martial art, but i mean to distinguish the two styles). Any fight using MMA rules, I would say Fedor would probably edge it, because he has more wrestling/groundwork skill. Any fight using more traditional kung fu rules, Lee would win, because he is a superior striking kung fu expert.

It's nigh on impossible to say who would win, if there are rules, since any rules would by definition favour one or the other. It's like when Ali fought that brazilian jiu-jitsu guy...there wasn't relaly a proper fight, because the guy kept to the floor, where Ali couldn't hit him, and where he couldn't do damage to Ali. Pointless.

That said, if it were a no-holds-barred, knock down drag out street fight, I'd go with Bruce. He's too fast, too strong, too skilful. It'd be tough, because Fedor has a genuine power advantage, but i don't think he'd be able to make it count, since Lee was like lightning. As with boxing, it is the fastest, not the strongest, who win real fights. (Hence why Ali is/was the greatest of all time)

In the 1930's Stalin wanted Spetsnaz training to simulate real world combat senarios, thousands of prisoners were turned over to the Spetsnaz and forced to fight hand to hand and in full on death matchs. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0hMUyndNWQ[/youtube]

Fedor would destroy Lee with his mixed art approach. Sambo is about kicking butt and taking names, not tooling about with philosophy and BS. Krav Maga is the only thing better than Combat Sambo.

I can't believe Bruce Lee is winning the poll, as much as I love the guy, Fedor would make him look like a child.
