Like Bruce Lee says "never take your eye off your opponent" I agree w/him. I would say who ever is best at whatever they do and take his advice. I think Bruce Lee was the greatest and so is Jackie Chan & Chuck Noris.

You cannot judge the deadliest!! Each style has something of value.
As far as actors are concerned... most would do terribly in the UFC.
Steven Seagull may be a black belt Aikido man... but Aikido is more about defence work thatn anything. He wouldnt last 1 minute in the UFC. I dont like him, because he is a stuckup peice of trash. He also got his **** choked out... something I answered earlier today!!!

Van Damme is more of a kick boxer, but he had admitted that his skills are NOWHERE near the level you see him in the films.
Jackie Chan is a very funny man... and is very skilled at what he does. Out of the three guys listed so far.... Jackie Chan would lick Steven Seagall and Van Damme easily!!!
Moving on..... Bruce Lee!!
Bruce Lee is the real thing!! He can go and he even studied many styles, to build his own system... Jeet Kune Do (JKD).
Unfortunately, when Bruce died, they say that Bruce took 80% of his JKD to his grave. Imagine if he is still alive today. Imagine JKD in its entirety. It would probably be the Ultimate system. Anyway, JKD is still a facinating art today, and its a shame Bruce died when he did.
Bruce Lee may have been an actor, but in real life... he was a VERY QUICK man!!! I think he would have done well if he was in the UFC... as I am sure his grappling would have been decent also (in simple terms).
As far as unarmed combat is concerned..... follow (in no particular order) Freestyle Wrestling, Greco-Roman, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Submission Fighting, JKD, Kick Boxing, Sombo and Judo.
Mix them together..... and you are an all-round grappler and striker!!!
To end it here.... there is no such thing as deadliest. Sure, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighter may be tough.... but against a man with a sword like a samaurai.... then he would be stupid to stand around and fight. Then again, a sumarai would be stupid if he went up against a man with a machine gun right?
I hope I have made my point.... each art has a purpose and a goal. For cage fighting... look into the ones I mentioned above!!
All the best!!!

Why not train in an art that has a complete system instead of having to go from art to another. Part of the problem with training in multiple systems is that at some point their philosophies clash and tend to cause more confusion than good. That's not to say you can't pick up and idea here and there which is a good thing. But making black belt is not the end all of that system. Black belt means that you've mastered the basics of the first level. It's after black belt when your really suppose to pick up the advanced principles. A true system of martial arts is based on actual principles. Not as a collection of techniques that you think are cool. Technique comes from principles it's not the other way around. Principles are the foundation from which an art is built upon and then expanded from that point onward. A tree cannot have branches without first growing it's roots. So to answer your question "no" you don't have to train in multiple systems. But there is nothing wrong with keeping an open mind and learning something new from time to time. I'm a believer in "mastering" one system, and learning all there is to know about it. Best of luck to you.

Any Martial Art is deadly, whether in the right hands or the wrong hands but moreso in the wrong hands because the person who didn't learn properly or has a bad attitude is just asking for trouble for themselves. It's how you use it, Krav Maga IS one of the more vicious disciplines, but no more deadly than any other discipline, because 90% had been developed from the same basis of Martial Arts and evolved from there.
As for Bruce, he might do well, but I doubt he would fight in the UFC in the first place, and I'm pretty sure that Van Damme Jackie, and steven would prob'ly not get into it either, but they prob'ly could all hold their own. But the UFC is a MMA competition.
and snoogans, Steven Segal's Martial Art is Aikido, good try though.

I would say Commando Krav Maga which is founded by Moni Aizik. It is a combination of Krav Maga, Krav Magen, Kappap, Lotar and Haganah. But the reality is that it depends alot on the practitioner. It's obvious that a Black belt in Karate has more of a chance in beating a white belt in Krav Maga. We all know muay thai fighters are the kings of the ring because of years of training and injuries. So you have to consider the martial artist too. For example, aikido is an art that takes a pretty long time to master because it involves evading the opponent so much he virtually wears out from the battle exhausted of adrenaline and energy then becoming vulnerable to even the weakest of attacks. If you want to be deadly, try practicing aikido + pistol marksmanship. I'm currently practicing it. The concept is evading the enemy to gain a chance to draw your gun and shoot. So it doesn't just matter on the art but the person too. Btw, a black belt symbolizes mastery of basics. Not mastery of the art. Keep that in mind. A 1st degree black belt is just a begginner. You can call the other colors aspirant belts. I hope this info is useful enough.

Its tough to say but im pretty positive that Bruce Lee and others wouldnt hold too well in the UFC. Like the president of the UFC Dana White says "Everyone with two fists has a punchers chance" There is no single deadliest martial art. All are equal in deadlyness its just how you use them,

krav maga specializes on hand to hand combat where bayonets or knives are envolve its one of the best martial arts to disarm your enimy in close contact and bruce lee will surely fare will in ufc cause he is the first martial artist who encorporates different techniques,jacky chan is only for movies like van damme,steven seagal well he is also a real deal but he is too old

The arts can not be compared. I will bet on the quality of training over the style of training any day of the week.
I never saw Bruce Lee in a real fight, I have only ever seen his movies.
Same with the other Hollywood actors.
Hollywood fights are choreographed and fake. They are entertaining but not realistic.
Please go to an actual martial art school and see what the real things looks like.

Cant Say the Deadliest But the Most Trickyest Is Capoeira....

I would say Hapkido or Akido (ones korean the other japanese). I studied under master chun lee who knows hapkido. He knows all the pressures points to strike to hurt or kill and then the joint locks enable you to break a person's elbow or wrist if need be.
