Who would win a fight in an octagon with MMA rules? Mike Tyson in his prime or Bruce Lee in his prime?
I imagine most people would say Bruce Lee, due to his kicks and grappling abilities, but you can't underestimate Tyson's power and speed. I think if he could dodge Lee's side kick he could possibly get in quick enough to land one of his famous uppercuts or hooks and that would be game over.
What do yous think?
| Bruce Lee | 10 | |
| Mike Tyson | 14 |
Mike Tyson was like 5 times his size and had more experience in competition. Bruce Lee had some karate point fighting experience but through size and power id say Tyson would win in like 15 seconds.
Mike Tyson no doubt. In both their primes tyson out weighs bruce Lee by 100 lbs. Size isnt everything but it's something to contend with especially if you are expected to get punched.
Bruce lee was tiny and an overrated holywood karate nothing. Mike tyson would kill him with one hit. Either way, any well trained mma fighter would destroy them both in an octogon.
You say any well trained mma fighter, so wouldn't that give Lee a chance against Tyson? His whole philosophy was basically to never limit yourself to one style and be able to adapt to any situation. I also think Tyson would definitely stand a chance against modern mma fighters, before he was a boxer he was an extremely dangerous street fighter. He used to mug grown men at age 11 without a weapon.
