Bruce Lee vs BJ Penn

OK As the resident JKD guy I have to put my two cents in. First off, it would never happen. BJ couldnt make weight as Bruce would be fighting at 145. Secondly, Bruce wouldnt just jump into MMA. He'd be a fan first. After seeing a few of the top guys fight, Bruce would not get involved until he felt comfortable with his ground game. He'd be at legends training with Eddie, at least until he gets a purple, and then he'd go pro. If BJ could make 145, it would be Bruce all day.

If any of you are a true Bruce Lee fan, you would have watched his interviews on how he is trying to create and perfect a hybrid style of fighting which incorporates, boxing, kicking, take downs from judo, submissions from jiu-jitsu etc... If Bruce Lee lived and BJ Penn was in the same area with him, Bruce Lee would be Rorion Gracie and Bj Penn would be his student. Bruce Lee was the first mixed martial artist.

BJ Penn vs Caol Uno. The first fight.
That's how I see Penn vs Lee in my head. The martial artist vs the mma fighter. With all due respect to Bruce Lee, I think BJ is a different animal and would finish the fight. Incorporating grappling into his style isn't the same as BJ's jiu-jitsu credentials and talents. And weight wouldn't be an issue. Even if BJ were to disagree, I still think he would dominate.

Also this comparison you guys are making is the same thing as who would win the battle between a 15th century footman and a U.S. Marine carrying an assault rifle. It is a stupid comparison. If you want to compare them to each other compare their dedication, how high they went in their given branch, how successful they were in their era. If BJ Penn lived when Bruce Lee lived which one would be more likely? Him being the same fighter he is today or a fish taco truck driver by the beaches of Hawaii?
