GSP vs. Bruce Lee in a streetfight

I'm not worried about GSP...I'm worried about Bruce Lee's no pain feeling corpse suddenly coming out of the ground and fighting people

In a street fight, Bruce Lee. While I think a lot of MMA translates to street fighting I firmly believe that Bruce Lee in a true street fight would pull out all the tricks even though he's quite a bit smaller. Put a cage around them and add some rules and I don't know how effective Bruce would be. I know he grappled far before grappling was grappling, but I don't know how solid he was by todays standards.

Lee could take a quarter out of your hand a replace it with a penny before you could clench your fist shut. On the street he'd replace your eye with a penny. I don't think that would be his first resort, but the man was quicker and stronger than most people can even imagine.

wasn't bruce lee dead before gsp was born?

There's no debate here. Lee takes this one whether it's in a cage or the street. Everyone seems to forget that lee came out victorious in a room full of mirrors against a dude that could change hi hand into any weapon he liked. A cage with gsp in it would be nothing

dont forget bruce lee weighed about 130 pounds and was like 5'6'', and his known fighting credentials are a couple of street fights and some boxing matches in high school.

GSP can military press Bruce Lee's entire body weight with one arm. No joke, I've seen him repping with 110 dumbbells. Bruce Lee, as much as I love and respect him, wouldn't last more than two or three minutes. He's just wildly overmatched. If Lee fought MMA he'd fight at bantamweight or lower.

Actual fight with dick-kicks and throat shots...Bruce Lee would probably have more, as well as the obvious weapons training advantage.

However, the best post was given by Taurus. If Lee just climbed out of his grave to fight, I'm fairly certain nobody is stopping him.

Just to further expand on my point.......Lee and GSP had 2 totally different mind sets when it comes to competition.

A story -

My former boss has a son in law who is special forces. He would always ask me if I thought I could "beat him up". My response..

1 - I would always be up to rolling or sparring, is always fun. I think in this environment I would fair very well. Don't know fully what type of training he's had as far as BJJ or Muay Thai etc etc.

2 - "beat him up" as in a life or death street fight type scenario I'm sure I wouldn't last long at all.

I train for sport, as does GSP. Special forces guys, military and people like Bruce Lee trained to incopacitate by any means, lethal force and strikes.

So what would I think Lee would do to him in a street fight? GSP comes in for takedown, gets eye gouged, bit, throat punched and his nuts ripped off.

While Bruce Lee may not have fought the best in the world he was 'jumped' on many occasions (depending on which stories about him you beleive.) These were street fight anything goes situations. I don't know that GSP has ever been in that type fight?

LOL@ the vaseline comment...

I am getting the impression that if we are discussing a fight truly w/ no rules, that some of you all expect GSP to hold himself to to some higher code of conduct as a fighter. Are his French-Canadian sensibilities too evolved to allow him to gouge & bite? And those are not exactly elite techniques; we were gouging and biting before we could walk.

I am not seeing where Bruce Lee's supposed combat skills of which all of us have heard only stories would fare against a much larger opponent who is arguably the best pound for pound professional MMA fighter.

And biting wouldn't work anyway b/c GSP would taste like Vaseline and gravy fries.

GSP...fighting as a whole has evolved in leaps and bounds since the death of Bruce Lee, alot of that evolution is due to Lee, but he missed out on several advancements. Bruce Lee beat up thugs in street fights that didn't know anything about fighting. GSP dominates elite athletes who do nothing but train techs to win fights. GSP would fake a punch and shoot a double taking Bruce down and then raise up and drop a couple solid forearms to the face and that would be it.
