Answer 2

If you want to live in a fantasy where about half of these responses are valid, ignore this realistic analysis.

Bruce lee Was about 135 pounds, the UFC does not have a 135 division, So the question come to a bump right there. if Bruce lee had to make weight for 155, I think he couldn't fight that well because his whole life has been fighting with no additional mass, it's a huge disadvantage. If The UFC made a 135 like some other organizations, I think Bruce Lee would do great, assuming it's in his prime.No one is a tougher, stronger, faster 135, just fact.

Everyone else would not do well. They just are not equipped with all the tools necessary to be great or even just good. Sorry fans but unless Chuck Norris earned a black belt in jiu-jitsu we don't know about, he won't be able to cut it.

Answer 3

Bruce Lee was the real thing. Chuck Norris was the reigning Professional Middleweight Karate champion when he met Bruce and decided on Bruce's superiority. Chuck then became Bruce's student until Bruce died. As much as people joke about Norris, he was also a "real thing", although not in the class of Bruce. Jackie Chan was also the real thing, although also not in the same class as Bruce. His deal was more acrobatic and showy, but he became a film actor and he moved away from technical martial arts and concentrated on clever/bizarre/funny stunts. Steven Segal learned Aikido, opened a dojo, worked as a bodyguard, then became an actor. Bruce Lee would wipe the floor with all of these people, although all of them would have the good sense to not challenge him, but rather ask him to be their master, as Chuck did. Edit: I take back part of what I said about Van Damme. You're right, he does have fighting creditials. However, he was indeed a ballet dancer, is trained in karate and kickboxing and was never part of the French Foreign Legion. He starred in a film called "Legionairre" in 1998 ABOUT the FFL. Also, Jackie Chan's master was Yu Jim Yuen, not Bruce Lee.

Answer 4

Seagal would probably be the one who'll have a hard time and might get his behind kicked soundly especially if he doesn't lose the flab and shape up. Chuck would probably kick butt if he only fought guys his age in his weight division, since he does train like a machine hence his still awesome physique and stamina despite old age. Bruce would probably have fared well too if he was still alive since the MMA style of training was exactly what he was advocating back in the 70s and that made him a lot of enemies in the traditional martial arts community. It's kinda ironic today when I read MMA and UFC fans belittling Bruce Lee saying he was just an actor and then read posts by traditional martial arts students coming to his defense against such tirades. You'd think it should've been the other way around.

Answer 5

Let's see:

Bruce Lee is dead so he'd definately lose.

Steven Segall is pushing 60 and has gained some weight over the previous years so his cardio is probably not up to par----and he's Steven Segall (I don't think he has any ground game)--he would definately lose as well

And Chuck Norris is pushing 70 so I'd venture to say he'd lose too based on age alone.

Answer 6

I'm assuming you're referring to these people in the "prime" --

Bruce Lee probably would have done well (his flexible style would have given him a greater advantage as long as he stayed on his feet) ... I'm not sure if he ever studied a grappling technique -- but he was constantly modifying his techniques... so maybe that would've come eventually to him. He didn't quite have the size / weight / reach to really excel, I don't think.

Chuck Norris probably would have done better than Bruce in the MMA style of UFC -- similar disciplines and skills, but his greater mass would've made him a better MMA fighter.

Sorry - but Steven Segal was and always will be a punk *** who picked up a few martial arts moves but never really learned the discipline of the martial arts, in my opinion. He's a chump.

Answer 7

Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris would do quite well in their primes, as long as both men trained for the octagon.

Steven Seagal would be beaten like a raggedy Anne doll by even Wayne Weems.

Just watch a Seagal movie sometime, when he runs he looks like a schoolgirl;) Now he eats way too much pasta and looks more like Tony Soprano.

Answer 8

bruce lee would be an interesting fight. it would be interesting to see how his skills have held up to rigor mortis.

steven segall would have a slightly higher chance than a snowball in hell of not dieing or bieng seriously injured in the octagon.

chuck norris would be too busy trying to get his opponent to become a born again christian to defend a takedown or his own signature high round house to the face.

Answer 9

Bruce Lee would be undefeated if there was a UFC during his time. Especially if he stayed only in his weight class. He was an all around fighter in Wing Chun, Fencing, Wrestling, Boxing, and Judo.

Answer 10

Times have changed, Norris was the only one of the 3 that competed in tournaments and was also a WORLD CHAMPION.
