He already apologized for that , Vlad loves re-hashing controversy.

Man, Bruce lee had more fights than you’d think. All he did was fight before he came to the USA.

Why does he keep referring to Bruce Lee as a "non figher" though? It's well known that Bruce Lee was a prolific streetfigher, in fact that's why he was sent to America because he STAYED in trouble in China. Even after becoming an actor he fought all the time, one of the guys he beat was Bolo Yeung who was also much bigger than Bruce. I understand the point about weight classes but don't act like Bruce was only an actor because he was not. The dude created his own martial art for crying out loud.

How does anyone not know that Bruce Lee actually taught street defense? He grew up in Hong Kong having street fights, and ultimately why his parents sent him here.

Bruce Lee was a boxer as a teenager, Bruce Lee was a street fighter, this is why he left Hong Kong.

Bruce actually spent alot of his free time studying Ali footage as bruce greatly admired Ali's left hooks and footwork and studied them in order to incorporate them into his jeet kun do style

Michael appears to not know Bruce's entire history. Bruce taught and invented his own form of martial arts. He was more than just an actor. He beat a guy in the ring in a real fight in 60 seconds.

Jai should've said: *"Idk if that matchup weight class wise is fair.* Period. That's it. NEXT Question."

Any bruce lee fan knows all he every did was fight and train. His battles were all street and did get into a lot of trouble in the streets. The difference between bruce lee and other fighters is that they had ask bruce to slow down his movements case they couldn't capture it in 24 frames per second where as other fighters they capture the movements in 60 frames per second and shorten it to 24 frames per second in order for it to seem faster on the screen.

Bruce lee is a real fighter....hes a movie star when he came here..he was taught by a MASTER. It sickens me when people say he wasnt a real fighter..the man practiced ONE punch at a time..literally one form of o3unching 1000 times til he goes to the next techniques . Ive never seen any ufc or boxer today that trains everyyy moment everyday 24/7

How you gonna say Bruce lee can’t fight but he was a whole ass teacher. Just because it wasn’t recorded doesn’t mean it didn’t happen

Bruce Lee didn't train for sports tournament fighting because he trained for REAL self defense situations! Jeet kune Do was created for REAL self Defense fighting, not in a ring with a referee!

Bruce Lee was Challenge to fight people who were heavyweight, and he beat them all in street fighting.

I could see if MJW said he could deal with Bruce's speed because he is just as fast and would edge out Bruce because of strength. I don't buy Bruce being a pretty boy weakling at all. You can't compare Bruce's movie fighting with his JKD system. Even Cus', Tyson's trainer said speed kills. We all know Bruce is faster than 99.9% of people on earth.

I think Michael is totally under estimating Bruce Lee. Although I think what he says is logical, Bruce lee was someone who relentlessly practiced. The base martial art of Wing Chun and the Jeet Kun Do would seriously surprise Michael. However, I think that the two gentlemen would essentially hit it off and become really good friends. I don’t think Michael was boasting at all but coming from it in a practical sense. His mistake was being logical and rational where Lee was extremely extraordinary.

Man.... just look up what people like jim kelly had to say about bruce Lee's skill against professional fighters

Bruce Lee did have a professional fight, twice actually, not MMA, but he had 2, someone didn't do there research

If size was the determining factor , giving up 100 pounds over opponents then bob sapp and butter bean would be undefeated.

I seen dudes 6'4 get dropped by someone 5'8 this ain't true

Bruce wasn't a professional fighter, he was in the skreets.

The simple difference between a professional fighter and a non pro fighter, is the fact that one gets paid, the other doesn't. Period. Bruce thought very poorly of the various tournaments of his day. In fact, he compared them to "swimming on dry land." Bruce trained to hurt, maim, kill, incopascitate and neutralize someone. He didn't train for sport. There is a huge difference. Is Bruce unbeatable? No. Did Bruce have great fight philosophy and insight? Yes. He trained with the best and he spared with the best. Was Bruce a pro fighter? No. Could he fuck someone up? Yes

Bruce Lee has been and there are witnesses that he fought street fights. Not a professional fight but street fighting is a real fight Jai.

Its wasnt that ppl were in an uproar about MJW beating Bruce Lee, it was that Vlad chimed in with "yea i could probably beat him up"...That's what set ppl off

Who has Michael J ever fought really? Besides in the movies

Lmao he killed his whole size argument with that UFC comment, Royce Gracie was 160 pounds tapping people out who outweighed him by 100 pounds or more...and there was plenty of real legit fighters in the early UFC...

Vlad and Michael have no idea what they're talking about when it comes to Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee is the same man who beat up a SLEW of "professional" fighters. ALL of whom were heavier than him.

Again. Watch the interview with Joe Lewis and he'll tell you that Bruce was EXTREMELY unusual and could hit like a heavyweight.

But remember Ali took his Ls too. Any fighter could get beat up

Mike had the look like "okay here go"

Weight Classes only matter when theres rules, like in MMA or Boxing. In a street fight Bruce Lee destroys M. J. White

There’s literally a video of Bruce Lee fighting in a tournament on KZfaq 🧐

Back when Bruce Lee was around there were rules in professional fighting that's 1 of the reasons Lee didn't participate in tournaments because REAL FIGHTERS fight no holds barred & Bruce Lee was a REAL FIGHTER!! I suggest everyone read "Fighting Spirit" by Bruce Thomas on Bruce Lee & do a little research.

you telling me someone who weighs 220 solid muscle is fast and has trained martial arts for 30 years has to apologize for thinking he can beat bruce lee who was like 140 pounds ? what logical person actually sees a problem with that??.. lmao cmon fam

Everything he is saying about personal fighting is true. “Everyone has a plan until they get hit (Mike Tyson)”

Any man or woman can win or lose. Skill, experience, knowledge, and heart is what is required to survive a fight. Fight or flight.

Bruce lee practices the art of killing a man as fast as he can his techniques are illegal in any pro sports with that skill size doesn’t matter stuff like eye gouges, chops to the neck etc...

"I helped train Bruce Lee." - TK Kirkland

Vlad is smokeing cracc if he think he’s beating any trained fighter up especially Bruce lee

This your 4 time posting the exact same concept we get it vlad 😂 great marketing plan tho.

The thing about Bruce Lee there's Legend and there's reality but his hands were very quick it's the punch you don't see that knocks you out

On some of the documentaries, they said Bruce lee had many street fights growing up. Then he got challenged many times after he got famous. And he often took people up on these challenges.. That's got to count for something. Everyone who studied under him said he was a beast. Most people that knew him felt he was almost superhuman! IJS

Bruce Lee was one of the greatest and he could beat someone that out weighed him and believe he could handle his self in a real street fight he was that good that fast and real powerful

I would pay alot of money to see Michael White fight Jorge masvidal . And then we would see how the Hollywood guys do in a real fight.

So you clearly don't even remotely respect Bruce Lee as a real fighter but he still your hero? Huh?

There are a few videos of Bruce Lee fighting in a tournament and one of them his blindfolded.

Bruce fought in a life or death match against another masters student, that taught in the states..lets not forget Bruce is a X-MAN. Hes built for this and studied this art.

I guess he didn’t witness small Gracie vs all those BIG MMA and Street fighters.

So he says Bruce Lee never really fought ummm the guy created his own art.. Jeet kun Do... Y'all are clowns

Bruce actually fought in several tournaments in 19...nah let me stop im just some random dude acting like an expert

In the movie he didn’t say he could beat Muhammad Ali, he said “You have to be like Muhammad Ali.”

Sorry but Bruce Lee would have kicked his azzzzz! FACTS Btw Bruce did fight stop it! Walcott fought guys way bigger than him!!! Ali has lost before!

I studied under Bruce Lee .. he was on the second floor I was on the first "Dragon Fly Jones "

So you mean to tell me jet li or Jackie Chan can’t beat up a 6’5 or pro fighter? Yea ok

Ok watch the interview with Jim Kelly where he talks about Bruce Lee.

This isn't completely true at all, one of my good friends is 5'4" 140 pounds we're older now but you could say he has the Nepolean complex! I witnessed him K.O. guys 6'2" and some taller and out weighing him by 100 pounds +. Manny Pacquio destroyed fighters that out weigh him by 30 to 40 pounds when they rehydrate. Mike Tyson was also a small heavyweight. There's alway exceptions to the rule, Bruce Lee could be one of them as well.!

He wildin. Size Doesn’t Matter!! Even Mike Tyson said that! And yes he’s fought in professional tournaments. Mr. Lee needs to come back to life & whoop this dude a new ass hole !..

There is 1 video of Bruce lee in a tournament online with pads

There is so much inaccurate information from start to finish here

Bruce was a Street Fighter. He fought with gangs on Hong Kong Roof tops long before he came to the US. Included knives and weapons. Finger jab to the eye, knee cap or groin kick. I doubt they have that on camera. What he had was eye witness accounts of how well he fought. All his life. He fought with fighters no holds barred. His goal was to end fights quickly. He wasn't a competitive fighter. He was a REAL fighter. What you think is the Truth can never because it never happened.

They say Lee was a street fighter..they even say he had fights on the set ...

Never thought bruce Lee would be this slept on..bruce Lee in his prime would kick so much ass regardless of weight class..you gotta actually hit him..also who is to say he wouldn’t of gain weight or experience as he got older

Hold up, Vlad and Michael. There is and has always been a legend that Bruce Lee fought a professional fighter for the right to teach Kung Fu to non-Asians and won.

I remember watching Royce Gracie beat Dan Severn in one of the first couple UFC's.Severn was much,much bigger than Gracie.

No, Bruce Lee never competed in tournaments on a professional level. But that in no way says he wasn't a legit fighter and martial artist. He trained and sparred with too many known professional fighters and they all say the same thing, he was legit. Even Chuck Norris said in a interview that's on you tube, he thought Bruce Lee would have been great in mma. He was not an actor that practiced martial arts, he was a martial artist first. He trained constantly and was dedicated to being at the top of his game. Again, verified by people that actually new him.

They seem to be operating off the assumption that Bruce Lee was only an actor. Chuck Norris' record speaks for itself & he admits Bruce was legit.

Weight does not matter. Force matters. Force = mass (i.e., weight) multiplied by acceleration. It does not matter whether someone is twice your size as long as you can accelerate more than twice as fast to compensate. Your strikes will hit as hard as his, or worse. Anyone doubting this: please test out your theories on video with a 75 pound wild primate.

MJW you're partially right. The weight class makes an obvious difference, but you have no clue if Bruce lee ever fought in tournaments. Just bc you never saw him doesn't mean he didnt fight people. I've never see you fight in a tournament, doesn't mean you didn't lol... Proof cant be brought up bc you lived in a time and area where you could get recorded, maybe where Lee grew up video cameras weren't accessible to him or his family until he came to America...

Well he kicked Bolo's ass on the set of Enter the dragon. And you can look it up how he looked back then. Bigger and stronger than Bruce. And Lee still destroyed him went after his knee caps and then smashed his head against the wall. It was so quickly done they could not film it. Director spoke about it in one of the documentary's.

I trained in mma for 8 years as a hobby I’ve trained with real fighters Professional fighters I once pissed off my coach who beat the crap out of me for not keeping my hands up in training. I had a headache for three days: Michael bro if you read this the correct answer is “I don’t know movie choreography is not real fighting and he has to stay pretty so he probably has limited live drills where you get hit.”

He probably could though you never know

Who tf is him brown

I understand what he saying about weight difference but Bruce Lee is to fast for alot of people and his punches and kicks made people jump off the ground which is alot of power 👊

in the movie game of death when bruce lee fought kareem jabar he was trying to say size doesnt matter.. some times you can win just from being the smarter fighter..

Bro he fought at a tournament back in 1960s I think it was in long Beach.. At the sametime he was performing his one inch punch.. Vlad you need to look it up on KZfaq.. He was pass his time... Bruce spared different champion back in the day like Joe Lewis and said Bruce was good and and he had popped him with one of the jet kundo punches.. He had a video of him saying that on KZfaq.. And other champions

In a real-world, non-sport fight, weight differences matter somewhat less if you can kick hard and quick enough, and feint well enough, to break legs and kick balls (as long as they haven't pain trained them)

Bruce Lee demonstrated the force to knock someone down with a 1 inch punch. Until you demonstrate that force Michael Jai White, no one is gonna take you in comparison with Bruce Lee.

He can’t beat Bruce lee...ever

Wat movie are they talking about

Wow. He definitely made that worse for himself. Just leave it alone Bruh

He did fight in a tournament tho and he had 1 fight. They are wrong about that. It's all on youtube.

"I introduced bruce lee to chuck Norris through a mutual friend actually" -TK Kirkland

Where’s wallo267 I’d love to hear what he gotta say about this

Okay Michael does make a good point, however, what needs to be clarified is are we talking about in ring fights or street fights. People forget that Bruce was a master of vital points. If the fight were to happen in the streets than he could take anybody above his weight for the fact that there would be no rules limiting him to go for the throat, the knees, eyes, groin or more. Every fighter should know no matter how freaking big you are we all have the same vital points. So taking Bruce would possibly only work if it was in ring only.

If it was in the streets in a random occasion Bruce Lee would win but a tournament he would lose

WONG JACK MAN was the guy Bruce Lee fought

He did it as a way of telling why Brad Pitt’s characters was blacklisted.

Bruce lee himself said I can’t defeat Mohammed Ali

Bruce Lee wood never fight him. Here we go Vlad with the hating. 🤣😅😂

I wonder how he feels about chuck Norris he is a real fighter

Im not too familiar with Michael Jai but his notion that an "under sized" martial artist will get destroyed seems ridiculous to me. Forget Names for a second, a large portion of martial arts styles were birthed and predicated on fighting at disadvantages. To me, all size means is you have a size advantage, the smaller guy may have a speed advantage or faster reflexes or endurance. Royce Gracie vs Akebono... He literally fights and submits a sumo Wrestler with BJJ whose 100's of pounds heavier. Two professional fighters. Smaller guy wins. In Real life without a referee this bigger guy dies. There are tons of fights in real life in professional arenas that bare this out. IDC HOW BIG YOU ARE! You can get Tapped out or Knocked out with a Clean shot to the head. That includes Michael. But i do agree that there is a difference between practicing martial arts and fighting professionally.

The only thing that pokes holes in Michael Jai's argument, is a fellow In the past named Sugar Ray Robinson. Who, at the time ( and even now) was reputed to be the greatest fighter all around. Sugar held both the welter weight and middle weight titles; he was Going for the light heavy weight title, when fighting Joey Maxim in Madison Square Garden. I remember it like if was yesterday, listening to it on the radio with my mother. He was winning but, it was the hottest night of the summer. Sweltering from what the anownsers were describing. I don't remember the round, but, he,Sugar passed out from the heat. Joey Maxim was losing badly. And it was the only thing that saved him from relinquishing his championship. I may be wrong about the weight classes here, but, it's the only thing that Taimak is right about. Doesn't matter, because it is skill and know how. A wrestler can throw you on your behind no matter how much you out weigh him or her. It's know how, and strength. In martial Arts it's called grappling. 'Love Michael Jai White. But he don't know everything. This might be the reason he backed off of his statement of being able to beat Bruce Lee. He'll never know. He is ferociously fast. But, Bruce knew stuff. A lot of stuff.

We need a Michael jai white vs Bruce Lee death battle 😆

Well who saw the Jorge Masvidal vs Ray backyard fight

Had to go look at the outfit from the other interview!!! Thought I was trippin.

I totally get what Michael is saying since I grew up in a family of dancers and boxers/mixed martial artists. Martial ARTS is like dancing you learn the moves (or choreography) and those moves are a physical expression and meant to evoke feeling that is why it is an art form. But boxers/mixed martial artists are fighters, so it is different type of physicality. At its core, there is no art form to it; it is pure brutality. My son's boxing trainer is a former heavyweight champion, and his former trainer is an Olympic gold medalist. Both said my son is a natural boxer because he is so strong. My son loves boxing because he loves to fight, and his love of fighting fuels his strength to stay in the fight when he takes a hard punch. In an art form your intent is not to inflict pain or absorb pain, but to just tell a story. So I get what Michael is saying. There is a huge difference in the intention behind a martial ARTIST's physicality and a fighter's physicality. An martial artist's uses his/her physicality to express a story, he/she does not have the heart of a fighter, so that artist is not going to be willing to endure the pain and risk that it takes to be a fighter. And that is not taking away what a martial artist does, and elevate a fighter above a martial artist, I am just detailing their differences.

I've seen lil dudes put some big guys to sleep 👊🏿

That is the reason for weightclasses

I have a hard time with all the hype around Bruce Lee being some invincible legendary master. He certainly had the charisma of a legend, and according to dozens of martial artists he was extremely good at that, but it is like no one is allowed to say someone can beat him.

Bruce Lee’s real go to thing was to flick his fingers into someone’s eyes super fast... then just start punching the shit outta them before they can see.. or sometimes just kick them in the balls. All that kicking & sound effect bullshit was mostly for the movies

Lol! Suge knight got knocked out by a little dude! Explain that!
