You don't know that.A lot of people thought Ron Van Clief could do a lot until he went into the ufc.Just because someone is trained to do something doesn't mean when the time comes they will use those skills sucsessfuly.Especialy in fighting

A lot of excellent martial artist went into the ufc and where in for a rude awakening,due to their lack of actual combat experince.The problem is martial arts incoperate a lot of techniques that can't be applied to a live training opponent.This was the one thing that seperated Brazilian Jiu jitsu from other arts.

And it is Bruce Lee's philosophy, that these UFC follow. 'Absorb what is useful, disregard what doesn't work.' This was over 35years ago, when Bruce Lee broke the mould you have to give hime credit for that. And all the doors he opened for Martial Artists, be it fighting, or movies.

rob van clief is not bruce lee
same as mike tyson is not ali
The sad fact is,the UFC showed the rest of the world what those in Brazil had known for years.The martial arts had always been shown as the striking arts.Bruce had minimal ground work(today it would be considered less than basic).That's one reason why Ron Van Clief had such trouble making the transistion.Martial Artist had very rarely had actual Vale Tudo type fighting until the early 90's.Arts such as Ninjitsu that had been thought of as dangerous where quickly neutralized by fighters trained in kick boxing and Brazilan Jiu jitsu.That being said,Muhhamad Ali was a boxer,who on a regular bases had fought others.Lee on the other had has a sketchy fighting backround and is more know for movies and stories of legend,as opposed to any fighting truth.
All this movie talk, it doesn't matter, you still saw him do it! Don't you see my point!? OK they're weren't scared...because, yes, it's a movie but what if he did that to you?
I think you would be censored scared don't you?
