Just call it what it is.


It's not that though.

Ok. It's martial arts.

haermm It's SO not, but OK.

They're doing martial arts. Why would it not be called martial arts?

Doesn't look enough like a Jet Li movie?

Yeah, that's it 🙄

In all seriousness, why not? Boxing, Judo, Karate, Muay Thai, Wrestling, Jujitsu, Kickboxing

These are just the commonly used styles. Are these not martial arts?

OK, I'll admit that the kicking is muay thai. And that Jujitsu comes into play when going to the ground.

But it's all so damn sloppy.

Some fighters prefer to go to the ground. Some don't.

Sometimes you even get movie style shenanigans.

LOL i can do that fukkin blindfolded... as a matter of fact theres probably videos of me doing more ipressive shyt somewhere on the internet
That's not likely at all. Randy has access to the same groin shots and eye gouges that Lee would; however, Randy actually has the experience and proven skill to put someone in a position to use them. I.e. It's far easier to gouge someone's eyes when you can actually hold them down. The groin shot can mostly be treated like any other low kick. Randy's reach means he can stay safely out of Lee's range and kick Lee at will. Biting? You seriously think that'll give Lee the win? Lee has nothing saying he'd win
lee is clearly a faster more physically gifted specimen...you know this

just because lee may or may not have a record of fighting means shyt
hes clearly faster, stronger, thoroughly trained...

randy on the otherhand slow,strong, trained in street-esque fighting
him submitting people in an octogan with rules preventing them from doing real damage isnt impressive at all...

like i said lee uses his overwhelmingly speed difference to dance around randy... randy tires out get azz whooped PERIOD 😆

or of course gets punch faked & kicked in the nutz cringes, gets eyes gouged, then lee bites his juggular artery 🙂 randy would be dead before he hit the ground

The other styles are quite present as well.

Some can be sloppy as not everyone is at the same skill level. I'm not sure what you expect it to look like though.

You can kick off a wall? I don't doubt that. I don't see how it's relevant though.

Randy Couture is almost 50 years old and is still able to compete with world class competition; he is the more physically gifted specimen here.

No, that actually means everything. You've got absolutely nothing to support your argument without some verifiable fight data.

Randy isn't slow and calling it "street-esque fighting" is sheer ignorance.

Randy uses his proven, undeniable ability to beat world class martial artists to dismantle Lee.

Lee, again, is at a reach disadvantage and hasn't fought anyone of Randy's caliber. If Lee feints, Randy simply stays out of Lee's range and nails Lee with a low kick to overhand right combo that has actually proven effective on opponents far superior to Lee.

You're argument is essentially "Lee doesn't need evidence proving he can fight. He just CAN. Coincidentally, I believe in Santa Claus."

lee showed his physical prowess & fluidity & speed all the proof i need

Here's the funny thing; Bruce hasn't proven he could beat Randy. That's all that matters here.

I'm not sure what to make of you, Omega. You started a thread in the religion forum highlighting the importance of evidence in any meaningful discussion, yet here you do a 180 on the same concept.

"I have faith in the unverified abilities of my lord, Bruce Lee." That's your argument.

Brandan Fraser beat Jet Li h2h in the Mummy! Fraser showed his physical prowess & fluidity & speed all the proof i need. Fraser > Couture! dur

Bruce would be to quick for Randy.

Boxing is a martial art. Wrestling is a martial art. Combining the two and somehow the sum is less the the parts? MMAs take the parts that work from each style and leave the rest. If Kung-fu or Wushu was practical and effective, it would be used in MMA... but it's not. Just ask Dan Hardy how much training with Shaolin Monks has helped his career. 😎

Helped him to focus all his Chi can not tap-out when St. Pierre was raping him.

To be fair, sranks point is that those types of arguments are silly from either side. Most pro-Lee arguments come from movies and demos. Randy's are from fights and more fights.

Not saying you did specifically, just sayin'.

You ****ing clown. laughcry

Wally Jay- "I last saw Bruce after he moved from Culver City to Bel Air. He had a big heavy bag hanging out on his patio. It weighed 300lbs. I could hardly move it at all. Bruce said to me "Hey, Wally, watch this" and he jumped back and kicked it and this monster of a heavy bag went up to the ceiling, Thump!!! And came back down. I still can't believe the power that guy had".

plz tell me what would happen if a kick like that connected to randys pelvis

no my argument is this a fight where bruce would use his overwhelmingly speed & power to crush a slow randy...look at lees footwork randy will get punishing off the bat...

lee is clearly faster...

stronger can be argued but i'd still put my money on lee
