Ok Konichi. I know that size can be overcome, but only to an extent. You seem to be suggesting that a small trained MMA fighter could take out someone totally unversed in street style fighting.
Given.
But why do you think they had to stick weight classes in the UFC?
(ok, cause john mccain told us we had to).
Little guys with talent against sluggish untrained ogres was great, but when they brought the big boys in (and all the REAL big boys are in Pride over in japan), the little guys started getting FUCKING killed...
Could you see Royce going against Minotauro, Kerr, or some BEAST of that ilk?
This is the year 2003. Mixed martial arts have been around and well know for well over ten years now. Every fighter knows that just training BJJ, Muai-Thai, etc. isn't nearly enough. Bruce would have NOTHING on any current fighter.
Of course, he was an innovator and can take a lot of credit through his acting in bringing the MA revolution to america.
He would be pummeled.
Ouch...
The fighters on the list are all real fighters...
They are bad actors at best and can't make it except for brief tv appearances by the likes of the two shammies.
ROFL at TKD, the art of kicking someone off a horse....
TKD isn't *completely* useless if you spar full contact...
On a horse....rofl...
The great thing about these real fighters is that they expose what a sham a lot of *Traditional* martial arts are. Don't ever do a martial art that involves kata, unless you're looking for weight loss or self enlightenment or whatever...
It won't help you not get your ass kicked is what I'm trying to say.
Now that MMA's well established, every fighter of ANY persuasion has at least a basic knowledge of whats involved. And we're not talking about boxers fighting Bruce lee... Boxing is fun, but its extremely limited...
Cheese
